THEM

JERRY COLE, ALAN HENDERSON


Them forged their hard-nosed R&B sound in Belfast, Northern Ireland, moving to England in 1964 

after landing a deal with Decca Records. The band's simmering sound was dominated by boiling organ riffs, 

lean guitars, and the tough vocals of lead singer Van Morrison, whose recordings with Them rank among

 the very best performances of the British Invasion. 

After Morrison left the group, Them splintered into the Belfast Gypsies, 

who released an album that (except for the vocals) approximated Them's early records, 

and a psychedelic outfit that kept the name Them, releasing four LPs

Them's star attraction, Van Morrison, had been out of the group for four years by the time

 they released their self-titled sixth album in 1969, though when Them came out they barely 

qualified as a band -- bassist Alan Henderson was the sole holdover from the original lineup, 

and the only other member cited was American session musician Jerry Cole, who played guitar 

and drums as well as handling lead vocals. The tough blues-influenced rock of Them's early sides 

had been replaced a by a psychedelic-tinged garage sound, and the fuzzy report of Cole's guitar 

and the fevered (if somewhat mannered) sneer of his voice made for a better-than-average slice 

of West Coast studio-centric garage howling. Rumor has it that Ry Cooder and Jack Nitzsche 

are among the sessionmen helping out on this set...(AllMusic)
