I've got two of their albums, and frankly, 'A Scratch In The Sky' holds up very well musically. Great to see these guys still rockin'! Thanks! (Grew up in Evanston in the '60s).
I remember the Cryan' Shames in the late sixties and they were one of the first good bands I saw live. This was in northern Indiana and I was a big fan.They had a few songs that sounded like the Association .Buy "Young Birds Fly" from iTunes and experience the innocence that was there during that time.
I remember hearing about the hook but did not see them live until the mid-seventy's at a bar named "The Thirsty Whale" in River Grove. He was preforming without the hook by then, just had his hand wrapped up.
I first heard the Cryan Shames a couple of days ago. Jangle Pop Radio, one of Live365 internet radio stations, played a tune of theirs. A great tuneful band- the track they played sounded somewhat like New Colony Six.
These guys were great! Thanx 4 Posting..
They have "THAT" sound, awesome harmony..

You guys in Chicago had quite a scene in the 60s.

When the band first formed Jim Pilster had a hook made for his left hand. The cover of Sugar and Spice was shot
in front of a candystore at OldeTown
in Chicago.
