Dino, Desi & Billy may not be the most credible group from the 60's, but you can't deny the charm of this pair of upbeat tunes from the summer of 1966. Both of these songs were written by Baker Knight, an established songwriter who was first brought to my attention by a pair of songs he wrote for the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Other members involved in this expedition were Jimmy Bowen, Shorty Rogers, Lee Hazlewood and Billy Strange.
'Look Out Girls (Here We Come)' has a fuzz riff that brings to mind the Stones' classic, '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' while 'She's So Far Out She's In' features a thumping backbeat with killer bass and a super infectious set of lyrics.
You can hear both sides in their full glory on Drifting Radio Broadcast No. 1
