"Authors Chuck Burgess and Bill Nowlin provide a fascinating history that explains in great detail the inspiration behind songwriter Ed Cobb's 'lovers, muggers and thieves' tune, and how it has become a staple after every Boston Red Sox home victory Love That Dirty Water! ultimately is a must have addition to the bookshelves of anybody that did--and still does-- 'love that dirty water'" -- www.60sGarageBands.com
"Excellent." -- The Boston Phoenix, October 10, 2007
Product Description
The Standells have long been considered one of the pioneering garage/punk bands. The intricate, intriguing nexus that defines them includes a cast member of the Mickey Mouse Club, a fraternal connection to West Side Story, The Four Preps, a few tracks produced by Sonny Bono, a manager shared with Liberace, and - most improbable of all - the song Dirty Water serving for almost a decade as the victory anthem of the underdog Boston Red Sox.
