Post Description

The Zombies suffer from the tragic distinction of being a band who hit a creative and commercial zenith after they broke up. For most of the 1960s, they were relegated to also-ran status, despite the talents of singer Colin Blunstone and keyboardist Rod Argent, the Zombies" key creative talents. Even though they racked up two Top 40 hits, "She"s Not There" and "Tell Her No," the Zombies were never taken as seriously as their British Invasion peers like the Rolling Stones, the Animals, and the Yardbirds. After several unsuccessful attempts at breaking through in the United States, the Zombies broke up in 1968. Shortly before, however, they had recorded their swan song, a concept album called Odessey & Oracle, that they had put more effort into than any other. After superstar producer Al Kooper (Bob Dylan, Lynyrd Skynyrd) lobbied hard for the album to be released in the U.S., Odessey & Oracle became the biggest album in the band"s career and spawned what would be their third and arguably most famous hit, "Time of the Season." Sadly, by that point, the band was no more, but fans always hoped to see the band actually perform these songs live.
In 2008, these fans finally got their wish. The Zombies reunited in March 2006 at Shepherd"s Bush Empire in London to perform the album and other songs. Captured on The Zombies: Odessey & Oracle (Revisited): The 40th Anniversary Concert, the concert is split up into two parts. In the first, Blunstone and Argent perform various Zombies and solo songs with a touring band. In the second, original Zombies Chris White and Hugh Grundy join them to perform all of Odessey & Oracle in its entirety, as well as the Zombies" two other hits.
