The Beau Brummels

American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1964, noted for early folk-rock hits such as "Laugh, Laugh" and "Just A Little", and for albums including Introducing The Beau Brummels, Triangle and Bradley's Barn.

Formed in San Francisco and first active from 1964, the group recorded early singles for the Autumn label in 1964. Sal Valentino (singer) and Ron Elliott (guitarist and songwriter) are named in DeBaser's review. Sundazed issued the previously unreleased 1966-era recordings as Gentle Wanderin' Ways with the band's cooperation.

DeBaser's available review celebrates Gentle Wanderin' Ways as a recovered 1966-era project showing The Beau Brummels at a creative peak. The band is presented as an early American folk-rock act from San Francisco that bridged British pop harmonies and American songwriting. The review highlights Ron Elliott's compositional vision and Sal Valentino's involvement in the reissue.

For:Fans and collectors of 1960s folk-rock, psych-pop and American pop harmonies; listeners interested in recovered/rarities releases.
