Once upon a time, before a certain cable network began making instant stars of demographically-correct groups who'd never performed live, bands learned the ropes from the bottom up. They played teen dances and local clubs, released a local hit or two, then broke nationally, honing their writing and performing skills in the process. Quite often, the results were devastatingly effective. All of which is why the Five Americans have always been one of our fave bands. And we have here all the evidence necessary to prove our case in court. [Amazon]

Rock history.
Okay - I admit bias. I was there in southeastern Oklahoma and I knew these guys when they did this album. For me, it is a bit of the history of American rock, and I think that is deserved praise. They went from this to have a couple of Billboard top tens, including a number 1 with Western Union. By then, "The Attic" (where I heard them play several times) was a distant memory, I'm sure. Even in abstensia, they continued to mentor me and my aspiring band. We never made it as far - but I hope their own memories of those days are as good as mine! I am very pleased to have found that this music remains available! [Amazon user review]
