Paul Revere & The Raiders 'Like, Long Hair' (1961)
Paul Revere is an enterprising young man with an unbelievable name. However, unlike the original Paul Revere who worked out of Boston and rode a horse, this one hails from Caldwell, Idaho and rides a piano.
Paul Revere, who had never performed in public, was persuaded to sit in at a local teenage dance sponsored by the Elks. He was so enthused, he decided to continue playing dances with the local group.
It was the spring of 1960 that Paul decided to record on tape a song called "Beatnik Sticks" and take it to Hollywood with the hope of some record company putting it on wax. When he arrived in Hollywood he discovered he was one of many trying to do the same thing. He was persistent and after a week of what seemed to be nonsuccess, he was suddenly offered contracts by 5 different record companies. After some thought he accepted Gardena Records as being the most promising.
After the success of his single "Like Long Hair", here is his contribution to the LP field with an all instrumental dance album that has the typical drive! drive! drive! of "Paul Revere & The Raiders".
Swing forth all ye Rock & Rollers, Paul Revere Rides again. - from the liner notes, paulrevereraiders.com
