about

The Five Americans, five Oklahoma kids who blew the roof off the national charts when they moved to Dallas in 1966 and cut smashes like "I See the Light" and "Western Union," recorded plenty of swaggering garage material just before their chart-topping days at Abnak Records. Put a Texas-sized load of fuzzy 'n primitive Americans sides that have never seen the light of day together with ultra-rare Jetstar singles and you've got a powerhouse that's guaranteed to get anyone in the vicinity dancing till dawn's early light.
