7 . Pamela Davis - YOU MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL This tune reminded me so much of The Beatles , " If I Needed Someone ." Crazy good harmonies and strong production values lead us to the ear worm to end all ear worms . I still have this one stuck in my head and that ' s better because earlier I couldn ' t shake Cher ' s " Gypsies Tramps And Thieves " from my head and this song is way better in so many beautiful , vintage 60 ' s rock ways .
8 . The Forty Nineteens - I ' M FREE Garage rock at its finest . Another catchy tune for the soundtrack of your life . The driving guitar riff hold down the verses nicely and preps us for the chorus to open up and spank our ears with sonic goodness . And yes , GUITAR SOLO of NOTEWORTHY-NESS . A must listen to song for driving fast . Put it on your playlist , now .
9 . Mark Lindsay - NEW THING I would expect nothing less from Mark Lindsay as he gives us his latest garage rocker tune . I love that Mr . Lindsay still makes great quality music and is still a driving force and advocate for rock and roll at a time when rock music is almost dead from the mainstream . Long live Mark Lindsay !
10 . Nick Marr - TELL ME WHY A riff driven , classic garage rock tune complete with tambourine . Sounds like a winner to me , baby ! He even says " ass ." I felt like a Juvenile Delinquent while listening to this song . I think the Farfisa keyboard could have been louder in the mix , but that might be because I own like 6 of them and I never tire of their garage rock drone ! Rock on with this song because there is a cowbell and bass solo that ' s not to be missed !
11 . Susan SurfTone - UP DOWN AND ALL AROUND Hand claps ! I was waiting patiently for someone on this compilation to use them in a song and these guys finally did ! I can now die a happy woman ! Up down and over is a great fun ride of a song and I really dug the fuzzed out guitar riffage in the middle of the song . Great 60 ' s vibe . I ' m in love with this album !
