MAD LADS IN ACTION

Product Information

In Action includes all of the Mad Lads' first recordings, except for their debut \"Sidewalk Surf.\" The waltz-tempo, pleading \"I Want Someone\" went to #10 R&B and #74 pop and is their biggest selling single. Lead singer John Gary Williams had a pleading, crying singing style that was unmistakably Southern. \"Come Closer to Me\" features some hokey bass under Williams' enthusiastic lead. The C.O.D.'s hit with \"Michael the Lover,\" abut listening to the Mad Lads' re-recording, you'd think it was written for them. Remakes comprise 25 percent of the album. \"Don't Have to Shop Around,\" a slow ballad, features smooth harmonies over Williams' expressive tenor, and has a quirky doo-wop sound. It may be the only Southern doo-wop record ever; it's also their second best-selling record, charting at #11 R&B and #93 pop. The most interesting track is the chugging \"Nothing Can Break Through\"; it features sudden stops and changes and creative harmonies
