Product Description
Long before Detroit became an adjective, the Romantics were delivering REAL rock 'n' roll with a fire and conviction that was downright palpable. Power pop gems like "That's What I Like About You" and "When I Look In Your Eyes" set a new standard for the genre, injecting it with an urgency and a raw passion that could only come from the Motor City. This fall the foursome returns with "61/49," its most rock solid offering in years. Named for the storied crossroads near Clarksdale, mississippi where bluesman Robert Johnson made his pact with the devil, "61/49" is intended as a tip of the hat to the roots of rock 'n' roll and the nucleus of the Romantics' fervent pop.
"61/49" features members Wally Palmar, Mike Skill, Coz Canler, and their current drummer Clem Burke (a founding member of Blondie and now a permanent member of the Romantics). The album's opening track, "Devil In Me" exudes the sexy swagger that is the hallmark of the band's sound while its first single, "Out Of My Mind (Into My Head)" showcases Palmar's ruggedly charismatic voice and flair for melody.
