Don't Ask Me What I Say - Manfred Mann

Don't Ask Me What I Say - Manfred Mann
3:01
The Five Faces Of Manfred Mann, 1964
Written by Paul Jones

This week is all about 1964!

British Invasion blues-influenced rock, with a snazzy sax adding some groovy licks.  This is a song sung by a dumped guy.  "I gave you all of my lovin' / Everything I could / Now you say you don't love me / Well there's no reason why you should."  You know what he thinks about that?  It was a low-down trick.  Easily as good as anything the Stones put out around this era, it's all buzzy and garage-style.  The lead vocals have just as much, if not more, strut, than Mick's.  These guys probably should have been bigger.
