One of the delights of exploring classic psych is discovering how bands from around the world grooved around with it. Germany's The Rippers went the garagey route, with simple arrangements built around guitar, bass, drums, and organ and a pleasingly gruff singer who could pass for Zoot Money. You won't find anything as revelatory of Zoot and Dantalian's Chariot's "Madman Running Through the Fields" on The Rippers' one and only LP, but Honesty is still a highly enjoyable product of 1968 that often sounds more like a product of 1966.
