Our Take

Title: Various Artists - Stranded In The USA: Early Surreal Wanderings

In the grand tradition of stranded travellers seeking refuge in the peculiar landscapes of the USA, this compilation album takes listeners on a journey through the early works of an eclectic mix of artists. From the soulful croonings of Dusty Springfield to the psychedelic musings of Pink Floyd, this album is a treasure trove of musical oddities that will leave you scratching your head in the best possible way.

The album opens with Dusty Springfield's haunting rendition of "I Only Want to Be With You," setting the stage for a whirlwind tour of the British invasion of the US music scene. The infectious energy of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" will have you dancing in your seat, while The Animals' bluesy cover of "House of the Rising Sun" will send shivers down your spine.

But it's not just the hits that shine on this compilation. Deep cuts from the likes of The Yardbirds and The Zombies showcase the sheer talent and innovation of these early British rockers, proving that their influence on American music cannot be overstated.

Overall, Stranded In The USA is a delightful romp through the weird and wonderful world of British Invasion music. So put on your polka dot dress, grab a pint, and let this album transport you to a time when music was as strange and unpredictable as a British tourist lost in the American wilderness. Cheers!
