NOAH - "BURY THE REMAINS"







Bury the Remains   (Peter Vandertogt) - 3:11   rating: **** stars






















Recorded by the Canadian band Noah and the leadoff track from their self-titled 1970 LP, to my ears 'Bury the Remains' was a near perfect garage rock-pop tune.  Offering a  wonderful mixture of jittery guitars, stabbing organ, and syrupy sweet vocals, imagine CSN&Y had they shared a garage rock background ...   And was that an anti-drug lyric I detected ?  If so, that was the case, talk about being quite daring for the time.  Wish there were a YouTube clip for this one, but there doesn't seem to be.uite darine time.
