Customer Reviews:

The Gants should have had a bigger following.......2006-08-27

This CD is great and the sound is terrific from the Bam-Caruso Series of reissues. With 30 cuts you get your money's worth. From Mississippi The Gants love of British Invasion is evident in their own compositions but they also cover some great songs from Bo Didley to The Dave Clark Five recording the well known..The Beatles Rain to a terrific version of the obscure Dr. Feelgood.
The originals are really good, I Wonder should have been a big hit as well as Six Days in May, Greener Days and they are smokin' on Bo Didley's Road Runner and Crackin' Up.
Over all the quality of music is really high and they seem to be able to convey their love of music into their recordings, these guys are having fun and so am I when I listen to them. If you enjoy 60's music this CD is a gem.

Whatever happened to The Gants?.......2001-05-31

I am writing in response the the "music fan from France" who wondered why The Gants never made it big. Because they never intended to... One of the members of The Gants is my OB/GYN and it was always his intention to go to med school. As I understand it, the situation was similar for the other members as well. They were college students who needed money, and coincidentally were very good. The medical community and numerous women (and their babies) would be less blessed if Johnny Sanders, MD had forgone medical school for a career in music.

A Good CD.......2000-12-02

This is a very good cd. The Gants albums were pretty hard to find and when you found one, then you paid well for it. Then you had to put up with pops and scratches.

This cd has a "GREAT SOUND" to it.

If you are a Gants fan then you know the history of all the cover songs, and the history is true. Liberty Records squeezed the Gants dry in a very short time.

The best songs on the cd is "Road Runner", "Crackin' Up", "I Wonder", "I Don't Want To See Her Again", "Little Boy Sad", "Greener Days", "Six Days In May" and "My Baby Don't Care".

You get most all of the songs the Gants ever did on this one cd. There are 30 songs and the Gants only had 3 albums.

I saw the Gants in person in Memphis (I think it was 1968) for a benifit for Otis Redding. I remember they did "Hey Jude" and what a great job they did on it. I had to look real hard to make sure it wasn't Paul McCartney. They could sure sound like the Beatles, they had a great sound.

They played in Greenwood, Mississippi this summer at the Air Show. Maybe they will be back there next year.

This cd is a Gants fan's dream come true. 30 songs, all the hits and all the covers and a great quality sound.

An excellent compilation - more than just a garage band.......2000-10-24

They did teen ballads from the heart. They did southern style rock and roll with energy and drive, with the guitars and Don Wood's tight drumming and Sid's great vocals along with the harmonies made them a joy to listen to. Their original songs were among the best songs that they ever performed, and were just as popular as their remarkable covers (my only gripe about this disc is that it should have had their wonderful version of Stormy Weather). I grew up going to their dances in North Mississippi and I had their albums on the shelf right along with Rubber Soul, Pet Sounds, the Stones, etc. Even as a kid from Mississippi, I always suspected that they really were very, very good, and revisting them as an adult, I'm now absolutely sure that they were. There are a lot of songs on this disc that never were on albums, including the great rocker "Little Boy Sad," but the absolute treats here are songs I'd never even heard, "Drifter's Sunrise" and "Greener Days" (an effort with David Gates). To my suprise this disc also includes very good notes, pictures, and dicography. Highly recommended.
