Bring You Candy Power is the Second and Last Album by the American Sunshine-Pop Band The Candymen.
The Candymen started as a Rockabilly Influenced Pop Band in the Mid-60′s on the American State of Alabama, as The Webs. They were heavily inspired by figures like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, but also by the Pop Sound that had came with the new Generation, which ended up creating a very appealing sound to the Locals, leading to them being picked up by Local Producers to make a couple recordings and enabling them to live off their act. When Roy Orbison was looking for a Band to back him on his American Concerts, he chose The Webs to do it, leading to the name change to The Candymen. It was the worst moment in Orbison’s career, and although his Albums and Concerts were getting a lot of attention in Europe, his American gigs went unnoticed, and so did The Candymen, never getting a huge amount of attention from anyone (they had a reputation as a very good live Band it seems). ABC Records picked them up and recorded two LP’s with them (The Candymen and Bring You Candy Power), which never achieved any kind of success. Eventually, by the end of the 60′s, they merged into what was to become the Atlanta Rhythm Section.
Best Tracks – “Ways”, “Great Society”, “Candyman”, “The Memphis Blues Again”, “I’ve Lost My Mind”, “Bottled Up” and “I’ll Never Forget”. It is quite a rare record on the Internet, hence my decision to post it. I didn’t enjoy it, and i didn’t hate it, there were some nice tracks but no more than that. Give it a try, if you want, maybe you’ll find it more to your liking.
