📀 Album of the Week
@Venice_Rocks
📌 February 1967
The Left Banke
📀 Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina
#BaroquePop #PsychedelicRock
55 years ago The Left Banke from New York City, #USA, released their debut album entitled after the first 2 singles of the band, Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina.
The album had not particularly fair reception, only the 2 singles extracted had a good success, and the band remained quite obscure and marginalized, splitting up the following year.
In 1990s there was a huge revival of the 60s rock/pop music (above all in the UK) and Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina became regarded as a definitive example of Baroque Pop, a sound that would be reprised 30 years later by many Brit Pop bands !
#TheLeftBanke were:
Steve Martin Caro — lead vocals
Michael Brown — piano, harpsichord, clavinet
Tom Finn — bass guitar, backing vocals
George Cameron — drums, percussion
Warren David-Schierhorst — drums
Jeff Winfield — electric guitar
