The Nashville Teens — Tobacco Road 1964-1971 (UK, Beat-Rhythm & Blues)
An English beat group from Weybridge, Surrey, formed in 1962. The group's lineup changed over time. They performed rhythm and blues compositions alongside early rock and roll songs. The group disbanded in the early 1970s, but many of its musicians went on to perform in other bands. For example, drummer Barrie Jenkins played with The Animals; Mick Dunford and John Hawken with Renaissance; and Hawken also played with Spooky Tooth, Third World War, Vinegar Joe, Strawbs, and Illusion. They had six hits, including Jimmy Page on their breakout single, Tobacco Road (#6, 1964).The Nashville Teens were a truly kick-ass rock & roll band from London. Their main claim to fame was providing the kamikaze backup behind Jerry Lee Lewis on his Live at the Star Club LP and recording the massive hit "Tobacco Road." This disc reissues that entire 1964 album and adds another 14 bonus tracks to it, getting us all the way to 1971 in the group's recorded output. Hot versions Of "Mona," "I Like It Like That," "La Bamba," and "Too Much" are the album's high points, and while the later tracks are a nice touch, they don't quite measure to the group's halcyon days.https://poprunners.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-nashville-teens-tobacco-road-1964.html
