"Shake Some Action" by The Flamin' Groovies

Cult favorites from the 70s, The Flamin' Groovies only had a single appearance on a US music chart. The time came when the band remodeled their sound, dropping the bluesy riffs for a more straightforward rock and power-pop sound.

The band's fourth studio album, "Shake Some Action," was produced by Dave Edmunds and reached #142 in 1976. The title track is a favorite among fans and should have achieved wider success, but perhaps was a bit ahead of its time. 

Interesting tidbit: "Shake Some Action" comes from dialogue in the 1965 movie, None But The Brave. Yeah, I never heard of it either. But I've heard the song and it grooves.
