Take It Easy with the Walker Brothers in Bloomington, MN

The track listing for
the Walker Brothers
' first British album is similar to the one for their debut American LP (
Introducing the Walker Brothers
), except that it's missing their first single (
"Pretty Girls Everywhere"
/
"Doin' the Jerk"
) and
"My Ship Is Coming In,"
and adds three cuts not on the U.S. release. As it happens, these three tracks are worth having, particularly the
David Gates
-penned ballad
"The Girl I Lost in the Rain"
and
"First Love Never Dies,"
another son-of-
Righteous Brothers
epic that would have made a reasonable single. ~ Richie Unterberger
