ARTIST INFO: BAND BIO- The Rascals had a very simple concept: play soul/Motown/R&B as a band, keep the vocal harmonies and add a bit more rock to the sound. Granted, the band continually did other things, but I like to think of them more as indulgences: singer Eddie Brigati has his neo-crooner songs, and guitarist Gene Cornish has a pile of mediocre folk and pop songs scattered throughout their catalog. However, their basic sound remained the same: Felix Cavaliere leading the group on either or organ or piano, and then often his soul baritone singing lead. If you want to have good soul music, you need good singers, and Cavaliere and Brigati were good. Musically the band was a little weak: Cornish's guitar work is nothing special, and Cavaliere and drummer Dino Danelli were pretty good. (They had no bassist). Brigati did not play an instrument, but did write most of the band's lyrics, so that was his role. Even if they were not technical wizards, they did have the benefit of being tight in their early days. Their drift towards lighter, poppier music brought in session players and diminished this somewhat. The band is also notable for their interest in race relations and equality, which started to crop up on their albums in the late sixties. You will notice that the band constantly gets what I consider to be low marks for their albums. The reason is simple: early on the band did not write much of their own material, and their work is really uneven. Then, when they started to crank out their own songs, quality began to suffer a bit. Their albums just always were watered down by a bunch of mediocre songs, self-written or otherwise. Their first two albums (The Young Rascals, Collections) have a couple of good songs and a pile of covers or crap. Then they made one pretty good album (Groovin'), an aimless psychedelia-influenced one (Once Upon a Dream) and a half-concept/half-instrumental misfire (Freedom Suite). Their singles did very well in this period, and their albums also charted highly, although both started to fall off after Groovin'. Personnel: Eddie Brigati (vocals), Felix Cavaliere (keyboards, vocals), Gene Cornish (guitar, vocals), Dino Danelli (drums). Brigati and then Cornish, and a bunch of people were brought in as replacements. The Young Rascals, Collections (1966), ** A real step forward. Cavaliere and Brigati started writing together, and it paid off immediately with "Lonely Too Long" and "What Is the Reason" - both highlighting the band's pleasing blend of inoffensive soul and R&B. Both feature Cavaliere leading the way on piano, pumping the soul vocally, while the others add in tight backing. In general it sounds like they had more time and/or more money to record this record - some strings appear, Cornish adds bass tracks ("Lonely Too Long" has a really good bass line), and Cavaliere often switches to piano. The bulk of the album is a mixture of songwriting attempts and soul covers. The band's covers are nice, but inessential: Motown with "Mickey's Monkey/Love Lights" and "Too Many Fish in the Sea", and Chris Kenner's "Land of 1000 Dances", which should have been at the album's head. Brigati still did his slower, building ballads ("Since I Fell For You", "More") which allow him to play out his voice. Cornish also went down a different path, with middling results: "No Love to Give" is effectively a solo track dubbed with strings, and "Nineteen Fifty-Six" is a Chuck Berry Tribute co-written with Danelli. Again, even though they were probably dynamic in person, they simply do not say enough on record. People who cannot get enough rocking soul music will like this. Self-Produced.
