Them began as a white r&b/soul-type outfit, then became psychedelic, then delved into hard acid boogie, and with this 1971 effort, investigating the possibilities of a power trio. And, of course, the group tried other things, too, and all this artistic restlessness mainly fell on deaf ears. Them never managed to rise above cult status during their time; their final three albums ('70's "Them", this one from 1971 and 1979's "Shut Your Mouth") barely were even released, much less successful. It's one of rock's sadder stories that a band with as much talent and balls as this one were mainly remembered for one or two singles early on. Don't think for a minute, though, that serious rock musicians weren't paying attention: the opening riff played by guitarist Jim Parker on 'Let My Song Through' was directly lifted and used by Lynyrd Skynyrd on 'Sweet Home Alabama'. Them play it with an offhanded abandon as opposed to Skynyrd's polished technicality, but this is where they got it, folks. Amazon-Kunde
