Reissue Of 1966 Album Featuring A Young Van Morrison On 180g Vinyl LP!
Them Again is the second album by the Northern Irish band Them, whose lead singer and songwriter was Van Morrison. It was only one year after their debut album when Them released Them Again in 1966. As well as cover songs including Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and Van Morrison originals such as "My Lonely Sad Eyes" were three tracks penned by the album's producer Tommy Scott.
"The group's second and, for all intents and purposes, last full album was recorded while Them was in a state of imminent collapse. To this day, nobody knows who played on the album, other than Van Morrison and bassist Alan Henderson, though it is probable that Jimmy Page was seldom very far away when Them was recording. The 16 songs here are a little less focused than the first LP. The material was cut under siege conditions, with a constantly shifting lineup and a grueling tour schedule; essentially, there was no 'group' to provide focus to the sound, only Morrison's voice, so the material bounces from a surprisingly restrained 'I Put a Spell on You' to the garage-punkoid 'I Can Only Give You Everything.' Folk-rock rears its head not only on the moody cover of Dylan's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' but also the Morrison-authored 'My Lonely Sad Eyes,' but the main thrust is soul, which Morrison oozes everywhere -- while there's some filler, his is a voice that could easily have knocked Mick Jagger or Eric Burdon off their respective perches." - AllMusic
