The Rockin’ Ramrods - The Best Of The Rockin’ Ramrods



The Best Of The Rockin’ Ramrods is not really a comprehensive collection as much as it’s an overview of the four phases of this legendary Boston band. They started out as a mainly instrumental group and then added vocals and an updated sound more aligned with the Lost and Barry And The Remains. In 1968 a name change to Puff along with a new musical direction in a more pop psych direction would occur, check out tracks 12 thru 22 for this period. And finally in 1971 the band reformed as the Ramrods and recorded an unreleased album, there are three tracks on here from that album 23-25.
