GIRLS WITH GUITARS

VA - Girls With Guitars Volumes 1+2+3 [2004-2014] (3x CDs)

VA - Girls With Guitars [2004]   -   Great ACE Records collection of sixties garage rock bands. There's a rawness to these recordings, that makes one think of the punk explosion about ten years later. These bands were given short shrift in the media, and you wonder why radio DJ's didn't pay more attention. The male dominated industry made me believe that the only girl groups were The Supremes, The Ronettes or The Shangri-La's; as much as I admire them. I don't think I'd heard a female rock artist until Suzi Quatro and later The Runaways came to the fore. (Joni Mitchell was still folksy before turning to jazz-rock). These bands sound very sixties, very garage, very enjoyable. (Amazon)

VA - Destroy That Boy! More Girls With Guitars 1965-68 [2009]   -   A 2009 collection of '60s gems recorded by some of the finest (and oft-overlooked) female bands of the era. So you thought the Shangri-Las were a piece of work?! Destroy That Boy! Is a riot of bodacious all-girl bands, femme frat-rock, axe-backed babes and other similar females of the species from the 1963-1970 timescale. This follow-up to Girls With Guitars is another blast of raunchy, cool, and sometimes just-plain-odd rock from a diverse assortment of women. Like its predecessor, this disc shines a light on a too-little-known area of pop music. The obscurity of some of these tracks makes this collection essential for anyone doing serious studies of the history of popular music. But this a fun disc, and there's excellent notes and photos too. Get it and have a blast!

VA - The Rebel Kind Girls with Guitars 3 [2014]   -   This is the third volume in this on-going series from Ace Records that focuses on "girls with guitars" groups.  If you aren't familiar with this series, the first two volumes are: "Girls With Guitars", and "Destroy That Boy! More Girls With Guitars". All three volumes have good/great sides of girls rocking out from the late 60's. This volume is as good overall as the previous two volumes. The sound is very good, clean and fairly crisp without losing that slight vinyl warmth. This set collects sides--the majority in mono from groups from the U.K., U.S., New Zealand, Germany and Japan. Fans may recognize some of these groups/singers like Goldie & The Gingerbreads, Brenda Lee, Ace Of Cups, The Chymes, and maybe one or two more. But the majority are little known or completely unknown to most music fans. The style is mostly a beat/pop sound, with some soul/r&b mixed in here and there. Also here are instrumentals by The Chantels (yes, with singer Arlene Smith of "Maybe" fame--one of the greatest "girl group" singles ever), and (the only non-60's track here by) The Delmonas, which fits in pretty well with this compilation.
