If you like: The Young Rascals or if you are a diehard Alex Chilton fan, this one’s for you!
About: During their brief lifespan, The Box Tops earned a reputation as one of the best blue-eyed soul groups of the 60’s, even if their recorded legacy wasn’t as large or consistent as, say, The Righteous Brothers or The Rascals. Today they’re remembered not only for their smashes “The Letter” and “Cry Like a Baby”, but as the launching pad for singer Alex Chilton, who went on to become one of rock’s most revered cult figures thanks to his groundbreaking power pop unit Big Star. In his teenage years, Chilton was an amazingly gritty Memphis soul belter akin to an American version of The Spencer Davis Group’s Stevie Winwood. The Box Tops’ music also encompassed touches of pop and psychedelia, although the group’s own lack of control over it eventually led to their split-up.*^{via Steve Huey, Rovi}
Why it’s worth your time: An overall feel-good album, Dimensions is a strong showcase of Chilton’s early, gravelly vocal talents and a prime exemplar of ‘blue-eyed’ soul.
