Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

From 1965, please enjoy The Untamed -- produced by the great Shel Talmy -- and a fabulous cover of a song from the first Who album.



I had never heard, or even heard of, these guys until I stumbled across their stuff over the weekend, but they're a pretty nifty cross between the Georgie Fame jazz-keyboard--inflected school of mid-60s British rock and the harder edged guitar driven sounds of the aforementioned Who and the Kinks/Creation axis (speaking of Shel Talmy productions).


The had The Look too, obviously.

In any event, "It's Not True" is one of my favorite sort of obscure Who songs, and the Untamed version is now my new favorite thing (until tomorrow and Wednesday, when...well, you'll just have to wait to hear the cool stuff I'm posting then).

In any event, you can download a CD of the Untamed's complete works (for free) over at the link HERE.

    Is it true that those boots used to be called wrinkle-pickers?

    looked to see if I had this on my overloaded HD 389K+ tracks and mine is by Lindsay Muir's Untamed! You & Sal both have Who stuff today.

    They remind me of the early Moody Blues line-up fronted by Denny Laine

    I expected the track to be average at best but I find it's really good. Great find Steve.

    Could that be Nicky Hopkins on piano on this version Also?
