The Five Americans Progressions (LP, Colored Vinyl)

(Sundazed Reords) 11 tracks, colored vinyl (gold)

The hits continued to come from the heroic Dallas-five The Five Americans with their third longplayer, 1967's Progressions. Both "Zip Code" and "Evol-Not Love" caused a stir in the charts when The Five Americans performed on live stages in the deep South with artists like The Doors and Jefferson Airplane - and more than held their own against the best American rock'n'roll had to offer!

An exciting combination of sunshine-pop, bubblegum and folk-rock with psychedelic undertones makes Progressions by The Five Americans a true time capsule of the special sunny days of the 1960s. Similar in style to their two previous albums, but with much more psychedelic influences. The third release by The Five Americans is their most successful album, which reminds us of the Monkees. Fans of sunshine pop who are interested in something "more mature" of this groovy Dallas garage combo should definitely start with Progressions.
