After what seemed like a long hiatus, Dirty Water Records once again sent some new music my way, and I am happy to receive it. The latest I received from this great label is from The Revellions.

Now, if you’re at all familiar with this page, you know that I am a big fan of the 60s garage sound. Give it Time provides the 60s garage sound in spades right from the beginning of the album. “Bitter and Twisted” opens with a boogie-woogie piano part. Then comes the fuzzy guitar and that organ that sounds like it was delivered straight from about 1963. Add to that some soulful vocals punctuated by a good scream at the end of the song, and what you have is three minutes and 33 seconds of garage goodness.

The intro of “Don’t Wait for Me.” reminds me a little bit of the theme song for a 70s cop show. This is a really cool song. It is pure garage soul (think Spencer Davis Group) including some horns that will get your backside moving. Seriously, if you don’t like this song, then you’re probably against fun in general.

This is a great album filled with some of the things I love most in music: trashy garage sounds, and healthy amounts of soul. If you are a fan of garage soul, this is an essential album for your collection.
