THE HI-RISERS
Hang Around With
You
Make no mistake: The Chesterfield
Kings ain’t the only good rock ’n' roll band out of Rochester, New York. The Hi-Risers have been doing their
pre-British Invasion thing for several years, and Hang Around With You nicely carries on their lively, oft-tongue in
cheek pop oriented rock which calls to mind everyone from Buddy Holly to The
Bobby Fuller Four to The Everly Brothers… and of course, The Beatles.
‘Where’s The Life Of The Party’, ‘The
Doctor’s Wife’ and the aptly titled ‘Jump Start’ will mentally transport you to
The Cavern circa ’63, the cheeky ‘Watch The Monkees’ gleefully lifts from ‘Last
Train To Clarksville’, and ‘I’m In Love With My Record Collection’ is
definitely a sentiment with which we can all identify.
Throw in the countrified ‘Silver Saddle
Motel’ and the harmony-infused ballad, ‘All The World Can Be’, and Hang Around With You is 360 degrees of
fun!
