5700. The Ramblers - Just for Chicks

From: Dodge City/Just for Chicks (single); Year: 1963; Genre: Surf Rock/Blues Rock

Had a bit of fun trying to find out more about this band and song, and even at that there's not much out there apparently. Most of this is due to the fact that they seemingly only recorded this one single as a band/under the name The Ramblers, and how many other bands over the last century have gone by the same moniker. The only real reason I know about them is because legendary producer and sound smith extraordinaire Joe Meek was the one that did all of the studio work for the band in his very unique way that he is known for.

Anyway, as with anything Meek touched, this track has a lot of interesting modern sounds that were very much breakthrough at the time, which made this bluesy instrumental surf rock tune a joy to the ears.
