Scarce 1968 original vinyl pressing...by '68 our Five Americans got hold of a fuzz-tone to accompany their guitarist and the bands sound grew harder and tougher...
The hits kept on coming from heroic Dallas fivesome the Five Americans with their third longplayer, 1968’s Progressions. Both "Zip Code" and "Evol–Not Love" careened up the charts as the Five Americans squared off on live stages throughout the Deep South with the Doors and Jefferson Airplane— and more than held their own against the best American rock ’n’ roll had to offer.
The Five Americans' third album, Progressions, lives up to its title. The group, which had gained success with the pounding garage rocker "I Saw the Light" and the infectious shakin' hit "Westurn Union," began to show some real artistic growth as they stretched out and explored new sounds. Some of the tracks sound like more assured versions of their earlier efforts — the catchy "Zip Code" (the attempted follow-up to "Westurn Union"), the Byrds-like folk-rock of "(But Not) Today," the sparkling poprock of "Stop-Light" — but mostly they incorporate some harder guitar rock, like on "Black Is White — Day Is Night," as well, the Kinks-y baroque pop psych on "Rain Maker," and blue-eyed garage-soul on "Come on Up." They ditched the too slick sound some groups get saddled with while taking over the production chores themselves -- and did a fine job of creating a full and rich sound with just enough experimentation to keep things unpredictable. Progressions is a substantial leap of quality for the group; with the right push, it could have been big. Instead it is a hidden gem that fans of fine '60s garage fans should seek out and groove to.
