Here's an unduly forgotten power pop record brought to us by Bay City, MI's
Burdons, who according to this
article are still active some three decades on. Loosely, the Burdons could pass for the Flamin' Groovies unhip second cousins, albeit even more linear in the songwriting department. Occasionally things tack in the direction of the Raspberries, other times this affair strolls into Shoes territory, but when it comes to the choicest morsels like "Heartbeat" and "I Fell in Love," you could make a case for the Burdons occupying three minutes on a
Teenline and a K-tel compilation. That's saying a hell of a lot if you ask me. My apologies for the radio station sticker adorning the cover. Manually removing it would have resulted in even greater mutilation, and I'm not very handy with Photoshop. Check out the comments for a link to a 2010 Burdons performance clip.

Cool pop.
The Burdons were actually from Bay City where they received the key of the city for the release of this album. This key was intended first for Madona, a bay city native, but the mayor refused to give the key of the city to the pop star....
They've got a myspace site
It seems that they're still playing time to time
