Them (CD)
The complicated life of this legendary R&B outfit was almost over when this, their penultimate album, appeared in 1970. Astonishingly, by then they were reduced to a duo consisting of original bassist Alan Henderson and US vocalist / percussionist Jerry Cole. It ranges from pounding psychedelia (I Keep Singing) and snotty garage punk (Lonely Weekends, a shameless rewrite of Gloria) to furious rock and roll (Jo Ann) and even a country ballad (Take A Little Time). As the original sleevenotes declared: "The THEM sound combines the typical British style with an air of mystery and an atmosphere of excitement. mythical, mystical, Oriental, African, electronic and computer rhythms included."
