The Dovers: We're Not Just Anybody 1966 (The Complete Singles Collection) 2024

 

The Dovers were an American garage rock band of the mid-1960s. The Dovers were an example of

mid-1960s folk rock, psychedelic rock and pop, heavily influenced by the British Invasion and American groups such as The Byrds. The Dovers were from Santa Barbara, California, and started their band under the name The Vandells. They began their recording career as The Dovers in 1965 with the Miramar Records release "She's Gone"/"What Am I Going To Do?," which reportedly was a minor hit in the Santa Barbara–Ventura County area. 
                                    

Three singles followed in late 1965 and early 1966, showing The Dovers' interest in folk and pop; none of

their four singles met with national success, and The Dovers broke up shortly afterward. The Dovers went largely unnoticed by music collectors until garage rock compilation albums were released in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A cult following developed around the group, who became known among collectors for their catchy songs and wistful vocals. 
                           

"What Am I Going To Do" is available on Rhino Records' Nuggets box set. "She's Gone" is given on

Pebbles, Volume 2, while "She's Not Just Anybody" is available on Pebbles 8, Southern California 1. The group's last sessions were in May of 1966. Original bassist Robbie Laudewig died in the late '80s. In 2001, the Misty Lane label released a complete collection of the group's material.
