You know, I'd say your description of "Room" fits even better
with Jackie's "Needles and Pins". I can't think of too many
early sixties records that used such densely layered acoustic
guitars in what was otherwise a rock 'n' roll arrangement. That
sharp, metallic sound not only foreshadows folk-rock, but it
also fits the title of the song. Those guitar riffs actually put
the image of needles and pins in my head.
I must admit, though, I'm not quite willing to commit myself to
a position on what was the first folk-rock record!

The Knickerbockers did a great Righteous Brothers
imitation called "Wishful Thinking". So it was no
big surprise later when I learned that the other
"brother" Bobby worked with was the same singer
from the Knickerbockers.

Great review Patrick, and thanks for letting us know this
CD is out there! But I have one question...it seems I read
somewhere that Martha Sharp and Sandy Posey were the same
person. Is this untrue? Forgive my ignorance.
