DENNIS AND THE TIMES - Flight Patterns

DENNIS AND THE TIMES - Flight Patterns
ALBUM Flight Patterns / Just If She's There (7", 45 RPM, Single)(1967)
Denis and The Times were from Norfolk, Virginia and three of the five band members were brothers – singer Denis Burlage and guitarists Dean (Denis’ twin) and Guy. The band were a popular attraction at local club The Happening and the obligatory (for an aspiring 60s garage band anyway) high school dances. Their debut single, credited to Dennis and The Times, was released on the Georgia based Trend label in November 1967.
‘Flight Patterns’ has more than a hint of The Byrds about it with its chiming guitars and winning melody, but the influence is made crystal clear when we reach the break. This is another example (like ‘Eve’ by Adam) of the impact of Roger McGuinn’s lightning fretwork from all-time monster ‘Eight Miles High’ from 1966, except that here the solo is truly frenetic, to the point that it sounds like it may break down into a flurry of noise at any moment. There is a neat, trippy sound effects ending too, and when Denis asks us to “take a trip with me” I’m sure we would all agree that this is a flight we would happily board!
