Whether you're a Frank Lee Sprague fan or a Sprague Brothers fan, or both, you'll want to own the 2004 release “SAVAGE SPRAGUE BROTHERS – EARLY RECORDINGS FROM THE VAULT.” (Wichita Falls Records WFR334) The disc is dripping with Buddy Holly influences, but the brothers' sound is distinctive and tighter than the Holly sound. Influenced also by The Everly Brothers and The Bobby Fuller 4, Frank Lee Sprague pens nine tracks of this twelve-cut gem. The disc is a walk down memory lane for fans of the 60’s sound. The Sprague Brothers use classic chord progressions from that time in their songs, and the subject matter is similar to that of the day. “This You Did” is one of the best cuts, as it blends the simplicity of the flawless performance with innovative lyric movement and classic harmonies. The Sprague Brothers cover Adamson/Lane's “Everything I Have Is Yours” and render an absolutely soulful performance. “The Invisible Man” is an instrumental piece that will have you saying words like ‘mod’ and ‘groovy.’ It’s a joy to hear someone making this type of music these days. Take a walk now through a less complicated time with The Savage Sprague Brothers. Expertly produced and totally Texas laden, this is a must for your collection. Playboy magazine described this sound as “a great lost West Texas Rock sound.” You'll be a Sprague Brothers fan from the first note.
