Original 1969 first pressing vinyl still in original factory shrink wrapper by a Southern GARAGE ROCK band known as FIVE BY FIVE...

Five by Five was a good garage rock band that formed in Magnolia, Arkansas in 1967. The group was made up of Ronnie Plants (lead singer, fuzz guitar), Larry Andrew ( fuzz guitar), Tim Milam (organ, vocals), Bill Merritt (bass), and Doug Green (drums).

Produced by Gene Kent, 1968's “Next Exit” offered up a mix of their earlier singles and then new studio material. Apparently he producer was not too comfortable with the band’s creative talent, the focus was on better known material; in this case a mix of popular and lesser known hits. Drummer Doug Green’s wonderful ‘Too Much Tomorrow’ was the one exception and also provided the stand out track making you wonder how good the album would have been if they’d been given a little more creative freedom.

Clearly determined to maximize commercial potential, the set covered virtually every musical niche imaginable including competent stabs at blue-eyed soul (‘Soul Man’), conventional top-40 pop, and frat rock jammers (their earlier ‘Shake a Tail Feather’ rave-up). Best of all were the band’s stabs at psych oriented material.

Their raw cover of ‘Hush’ easily put Deep Purple’s better known cover to shame. Similarly the famous Jimi Hendrix Experience psych jammer "FIRE" starts the album off with hard fuzzed-out raves that all garage/psych collectors should enjoy ...as well, another highlight is ‘Nothing You Do’, AND their wild take on Arthur Lee and Love’s ’7 and 7 Is’ (be sure to check out the this track out on a good pair of headphones), and the sitar propelled cover of The Sir Douglas Quintet’s ‘She Digs My Love’ are all worthy of this obscure album from 1968.
