A Low-Budget Impressions

Andre M. | Mt. Pleasant, SC United States | 07/30/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The music of the Van Dykes, here from a 1966 album with some extra cuts, sound very much like a low-budget version of Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions (with the lead singer's falsetto and the somewhat crude studio acoustics). But a poor man's Impressions sounds a lot better than a lot of high-budget things that are recorded today, and the lowgrade recording somewhat adds to the charm of this collection (brings to mind a group of guys harmonizing in the bathroom of an inner-city high school). So while it may not be an essential purchase, it has it's own quirky appeal and is certainly worth a listen or two."

"If you are looking for a true sound from the past this is a great blast from the past"
