Best known for the smash track 96 Tears, ? and The Mysterians’ LP, 96 Tears, is more than just the hit song. This is straight up classic 60s Detroit garage, complete with 15 year old Mexican organ sensation Freddie Rodriguez. Freddie’s organ strokes may have been best known for the hook in 96 Tears, but he also tore it up in Midnight Hour (not Wilson Pickett’s song).
This is so distinctly Detroit, a mixture of psych, blues, soul, and rock-n-roll, and with that organ featured so often with MI garage bands. Freddie, you must have been going to church, son!
