the Tony Jackson Group - Watch Your Step

UK import, 24 track collection of Ex-Searcher Tony Jackson that has a handful unreleased trax and some rare songs from a 1966 EP. Naturally, there is a strong Searchers vibe(a good thing, of course), and some British Freakbeat and mod-pop(think Small Faces.). When he left the Searchers at the height of their success in 1964, bassist Tony Jackson seemed destined for fame and fortune. It didnt work out that way, but that was no fault of his music over the next three years, which ranged from superb UK soul to American-influenced folk-rock. "You`re My Number One" by the Tony Jackson Group. You`ll be amazed at how much this song sounds like the contemporary retro band the Resonars and the Hollies! "-Eric Sorensen, Fufkin.com. A really, really nice find and reissue.

Reviewer: Tony Craddock

I have played this c.d. over and over and I seem to hear something new with every play. A particular favourite is ` you beat me to the punch` which you could have imagined `The Searchers` recording. As well as the Searcheresque harmonies which are very welcome there is a rawness about some of the tracks and without doubt Tony Jackson group will go down as one of the most underated bands of the golden era.
