The Younger Brothers - Coming Out
Posted on June 23, 2007 by pj4533
This is a Boston area blue eyed soul duo, similar to the Righteous Brothers or Tom Jones. It does have some excellent parts and I was pleasantly surprised with a few of the cuts. It is all covers and my favorites include 'Show Me', 'Its a Mans Mans World' & 'I Thank You'. My copy has original vinyl, but the cover is a photocopy of the original cover. The dealer I got mine from found 2 copies, one without a cover so they made their own.

I disagree….I think its a BIT better than that. Definately not amazing, but the vocal breakdown/hits in ‘Show Me’, are pretty good. As are a few of the other tracks. They aren’t gonna change the world or anything, but definately worth a listen, especially for anyone from boston.

I used to have this disc (25 cents at SallyAnn). Dull and totally uninteresting. All tunes are covers, even a Beatles song. These guys didn’t have much to say. Beyond the vocals; the lushly uninspired background tracks sound like James Brown Band on prozac. Only value points: 60’s Boston “obscuro” with kitsch gay connotation. Weak and insipid!
