Hard to find 1967 original vinyl...Southern Jangle guitar garage with a cOOl catchy sound...The Candymen!
The Candymen were an Alabama-spawned garage band probably best remembered today as the backing group for Roy Orbison. The group started life as a garage band called "the Webs", co-founded by guitarist John Rainey and a young lead singer/guitarist named Bobby Goldsboro, in Dothan, AL, in the mid-'60s. Their breakthrough came when they discovered that Roy Orbison was going to be appearing locally and would be in need of a backing band. As they were already conversant with his work, it wasn't stretch to pick up all the finer nuances of his repertory, and the result was that the legendary Texas-born singer asked them to become his regular touring band. In the process, picking up the name from one of his biggest hits, the Webs became the Candymen -- The Candymen worked regularly behind Orbison on-stage, a gig that, in other times, would have gotten them huge exposure. However, the second half of the 1960s were not good times for Orbison, at least commercially in the United States; signed to MGM since 1965, he released some very good records and sold a lot of them in Europe, but in the United States his career and his concerts passed little-noticed, despite the quality of his music and the Candymen's playing.The Candymen, when they weren't backing Orbison, developed a serious reputation as a great live band in their own right. They became known for doing the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" live, amidst other repertory that was usually considered beyond the reach of a lot of bands. And they cut two LPs as the Candymen for ABC Records a mix of catchy jangle guitar & organ structured poprock with psych edges, much better than one might expect with the surgary name and all. Over the years The Candymen Lp's grew to be appreciated and collected by sixties fans all over the world and most spare copies get picked up quick. Here is a nice original of their 1967 first album.
