Synthesis

Synthesis is the third album by The Cryan' Shames and was released in 1968. It contains some lineup changes from their second album, A Scratch in the Sky. Drummer Dennis Conroy was replaced by Alan Dawson, and Jim Fairs moved on with Dave Carter on guitar. Synthesis is an apt name for an album that, like its predecessor, A Scratch in the Sky, proved the Cryan' Shames to be among the most versatile mainstream pop/rock groups of the late 1960s. "Greenburg, Glickstein, Charles, David, Smith and Jones" was covered by Proto-Kaw, a reformed version of Kerry Livgren's early-1970s pre-Kansas band, on their 2004 album Before Became After.
