The Flamin' Groovies

Beginning life as a flower-power band in San Francisco during the 'summer of love', The Groovies came to define the true spirit of good time rock & roll and pop. Leader Cyril Jordan fed his transient members a diet of British Beat and R&B blended with Byrds/Beau Brummels throughout the 70's, and the Shake Some Action album, recorded under Dave Edmunds at Rockfield, was a unique and special work.

You Tore Me Down shines like a polished diamond with evocative Byrds-style acoustic guitar overlays and Hollies-standard harmonies.
