Having made their reputation playing school dances and clubs, 1965's "The Embers Roll Eleven" captured The Embers in their element - namely a live set recorded at North Carolina State University's Erdahl Cloyd Student Union (named after Theodore Erdahl and Edward Lamar Cloyd). You normally see this one described as a garage effort, though most of eleven songs were covers of popular soul songs. As such the album would actually be better described as blue-eyed soul. Sonic-ally the results were a little crude, but for a live act these guys sounded surprisingly good (credit post-production work?). On the down side creatively you won't find anything startling here. The performances were professional, but never strayed from the norm, making for a quick and pleasant listening experience. Just because it offered a minor change from the norm, the standout track was their Beatles cover 'All My Lovin' '. "The Embers Roll Eleven" track listing:
