LITTLE BOY BLUES....
...........................................................................................
- These LITTLE BOY BLUES from Chicago are best known for their highly sought after and expensive tough bluesy garage 45's releases, putting them above the league over most any fellow Chicago garage greats, like The Shadows of Knight. The Little Boy Boy Blues three singles for the International Recording Company included a blistering cover of the garage staple "I Can Only Give You Everything," that was a standout of the Pebbles Vol. 2 anthology. In 1967 they moved to Ronko for a one-off that included the terrific original "The Great Train Robbery" backed with a menacing take of Donovan's "Season of the Witch." At this point in 1968 they began to put together In the Woodland of Weir, moving away from their straight-ahead garage blues towards a more acid-baked sound.
Garage punk combo the Little Boy Blues were formed in 1964 by singer/guitarist Lowell Shyette, lead guitarist Paul Ostroff, bassist Ray Levin, and drummer James Boyce, all of them students at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After honing a repertoire consisting primarily of Chicago blues classics and early rock & roll hits, the group was approached by the local IRC label to make a record, albeit on the condition they abandon their bluesy sound in favor of a more commercial, British Invasion-inspired approach. The Little Boy Blues agreed and in 1965 issued the Shyette-penned "Love for a Day," a major hit on Chicago radio that earned the band opening gigs for acts including the Rolling Stones, , and Shadows Of Knight. Second vocalist Billy McColl was typically recruited for live dates, also appearing on their sophomore single, "I'm Ready" recorded in the Little Boy Blues' increasingly aggressive and noisy style, it was another local hit.
Their fuzz-punk approach reached its apotheosis on the follow-up, a blistering reading of the garage staple "I Can Only Give You Everything" -- already a Chicagoland favorite thanks to their weekly appearances at the popular nightspot the Like Young, the single appeared ready to launch the Little Boy Blues to national fame after they appeared on the Dick Clark television series Where the Action Is, but in September 1966 Shyette was drafted into Army duty, crippling the band's momentum. Singer Frank Biner was tapped as Shyette 's replacement, and after leaving IRC for the Ronko label, the Little Boy Blues issued their fourth single, the 1967 acid punk classic "The Great Train Robbery" -- as the year wore on the group moved further into psychedelia, playing at local "be-ins" and headlining at Chicago counterculture clubs like the Cheetah and the Electric Playground.
