Wally Bryson - The Raspberries Guitarist Wally Bryson was the engine that fueled Cleveland’s beloved and influential Raspberries, whose signature power pop is still worshiped in many circles. Say what you will about Eric Carmen’s songwriting, the band would have lacked crispness and sizzle without Bryson’s guitar tricks.

"It's Cold Outside" is a song by the American garage rock band the Choir, written by the Choir's drummer, Dan Klawon, and first released on Canadian-American Records in September 1966. It is considered a classic of the musical genre of garage rock, and became the group's only national hit. The song has since been featured on several compilation albums.
The Choir originally came to prominence in Cleveland under the moniker the Mods, covering a wide variety of material penned by British Invasion-based groups such as the Who, the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles. As the house band for the Painesville Armory, the group appeared on several local television programs, emulating a pop sound inspired by the songs they covered. By 1966, the band members developed into capable songwriters, writing the originals "It's Cold Outside" and "Going Home". With their freshly-penned material in hand, the Mods traveled to Chicago to record. Around the same time, the band changed their name to the Choir because the Modernaires were recording under the name "the Mods.
The song's lyrics pertain to a dejected recounting of a failed love affair, though the vocal delivery is conducted in a sunny manner. Klawon explains "I used to write quite a bit then, and one day I was thinking of some sort of theme to use with the moon/spoon, boy/girl lyrics," before deciding "to go with a weather analogy". Also evident are the soothing vocal harmonies and fast-paced rhythm guitar instrumentals, both reminiscent of early Beatles and Who compositions. In addition to the British Invasion-influenced arrangements, "It's Cold Outside" is also marked by Dave Burke's raving bass playing and lead guitarist Wally Bryson's jangling Byrds-esque technique. Music historian Richie Unterberger, writing for the Allmusic website, proposes the tune would have been better suited for "the innocent times of 1964 than for the complicated culture and music scene of 1967".
Upon its release in September 1966, "It's Cold Outside" drew little attention. However, in April 1967 the single was re-issued on Roulette Records and went to No. 1 on all three Top 40 radio stations in Cleveland, retaining the position for five weeks.[2] Nationally, the record peaked at No. 49 in Record World, No. 55 in Cash Box and No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6] "It's Cold Outside" gained more attention from garage rock enthusiasts years later when it was compiled on Pebbles, Volume 2 and the 1998 reissue of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968. Other albums that feature the song include Psychedelic Microdots, Volume 3, Choir Practice, and Trash Box. - Развлечения

Mr Carmen died March 2024.😢
why is wally playing a epiphone my god had so much great vintage gear
I'm not sure, it actually was 'Cold Outside' that night. Thinking that he didn't want his priceless stuff going through extreme temperature changes that December night in Cleveland. There was an after-gig later this evening as well. I do know that he keeps the vintage gear in the climate controlled vault at the R&R Hall of Fame. Check out my other Wally videos, he's playing the vintage gear.
T thanks this is so bad I want to stay inside forever thanks this is so bad I want to stay inside forever

Me too. Thanks for your comment and subscribing.
Costello made a career inspired by songs like this; sunny music hiding acid lyrics
Wow, that's cool to know. I'm going to revisit his music and listen to another aspect of lyrics.
