The Morning Dew

Great Original Garage Tock Band from the 60s!
From their website, http://www.morningdewband.com/MD/:
The Morning Dew was a very successful rock band from Topeka, Kansas during the 1966 to 1971. The band toured through-out the Mid-West and was one of the hottest psychedelic bands of the era.
Have a listen to a GREAT Garage Rock song, "No More" by The Morning Dew, recorded in April 1967. Gotta love the Scream and the awesome fuzz guitar solo at 1:22



Now go to this link:

and watch the same original members play the same song but in 2010! It's excellent!

From their site:
A 2010 live video recording of The Morning Dew's hit No More at the Kansas Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - Liberty Hall, Lawrence, KS on March 6, 2010. The original artists for No More were Mal Robinson, Don "Tommy" Sligar, Don "Andy" Anderson, and Don "Shuf" Shufford.


Back to the 60's...

In August 1969 the band recorded an album in New York City. This very cool psychedelic double track is from that effort. It is "Epic the Mann / Death is a Dream" - check it out!

The Eleventh Story

The Eleventh Story is a 60s Garage influenced band out of Virginia with a new album available at CD Baby called "Outland Road". The band consists of Tom Haun on guitars and vocals, and Todd Rosedale on bass. They present 7 songs on this CD which has Garage, Blues and Psychedelic influences.

"Snake Doctor" brings to mind the 60s pop rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). "One Good Reason" is a slower blues/psyche number. "Our Time Is Now" is one of my favorite tracks. It is a Garage Rocker with a Psychedelic feel. The guitar riff is cool and Tom's vocals are trippy yet powerful. I also like "That's What I'm Here For" which is another obviously 60s Garage influenced tune. It has a light breezy feel, nice Garage pop tune! "And For Today" gets a little more gritty, and stays in a slow groove. "Out To The Highway" picks up the pace, it rocks and has tasty fuzz lead guitarwork! "Tsunami" ends the set. It's another Garage Rocker with lead fuzz.

In general, Tom's vocals are excellent and the guitar work is solid. I did notice that there is the occasional loss of sync among the instruments, and the songs seem to end abruptly. But this is a very nice Garage CD that I would recommend to all Garage Rockers!
