THE HANGMEN...a Washington DC garage band that had a lot of talent, not only did they issue some killer garage/fuzz singles but their album (here) is a sought after nugget of prime melodic garage with scattered fuzz guitar injections and an overall hip sound with the style collectors definitely want to add to their collections. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Side One of 'Bittersweet' opens with 'Dream Baby' (also selected from the album as a single). You may really dig this sitar and fuzz imbued psychedelic 'Dream Baby' and it clearly is the strongest performance on the album. 'Guess What' is a toned down garage ballad. The Hangmen also like this style.
'Crazy Man' cooks up the rhythms and the lead vocals are performed by bass player Paul Dowell.
'Let It Be Me' was the flip of their 45 'Dream Baby'.
'Terrible Tonight' is a very cool garage rocker about a girlfriend problem. She has a 'plastic heart'....
'Faces' is a re-recording of the second single and is much different. The fuzz guitar is not as killer and more burried in the mix. The back-up vocals make up for this though.
Side Two of 'Bittersweet' kicks off with 'I Wanna Get To Know You', It's a song that Hangmen member Tom Guernsey would have liked it to have been the band's third single instead of 'Dream Baby'.
'Everytime I Fall In Love' is a cover of a song by fellow Washington D.C. band The Fallen Angels. It's a 'love gone wrong' theme that was so common with mid 60s bands.
'What A Girl Can't Do' is a classic Hangmen early 45 recorded in different tempo -- a re-recording of the classic single -- giving new lead singer Tony Taylor his chance to stamp his authority on the song. Isn't That Liz' is a band original with some fuzz and a neat harmonica break mid way through the song. It's a grower and the tune will stick in your head.
'Gloria' is the famous Van Morrison song originally recorded by his band Them. Many mid 60s American bands either played this song live at gigs or recorded their own version.The Hangmen performance is a slowed down and extended take with great fuzz guitar and a good vocal performance by Tony Taylor.
