Review by Brynjólfur Ólason

Shotgun Wedding by Ad Libs is a soulful and energetic album that showcases the group's unique sound and style. Released in 1963, the album features a mix of upbeat dance tracks and heartfelt ballads, all delivered with the Ad Libs' signature harmonies and infectious energy.

From the opening track "The Boy From New York City," which became a chart-topping hit and an enduring classic, to the soulful "I'm Just A Down Home Girl," the album is filled with memorable and catchy tunes that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along.

The Ad Libs' vocal performances are nothing short of outstanding, with each member contributing their own unique style and sound to create a truly dynamic and engaging listening experience. Whether they're belting out the high-energy "Johnny My Boy" or the soulful "Ask Anybody," the Ad Libs' vocals are always on point and full of emotion.

About The Ad Libs

American vocal group from Bayonne, New Jersey, founded in 1964. The original Ad-Libs (Hugh Harris, Danny Austin, Dave Watt, Norman Donegan and Mary Ann Thomas), on Blue Cat Records (a subsidiary label bellonging to Leiber/Stoller and George Goldner--Red Bird Records), traveled on the Dick Clark tour with Dionne Warwick and Chuck Berry. They also shared billings with Joe Tex, Little Anthony and the Imperials, as well as Del Shannon. But as subsequent recordings enjoyed less success, the groups popularity faded and personnel began to change. The new Ad-Libs were on AGP Records and consisted of Arthur Robinson, Irene Baker, Hugh Harris, Rose Myers and David Watt. Also joining the lineup was Chris Bartley. The group got involved with a highly talented and prolific writer/producer by the name of Van McCoy. Arthur Robinson was chosen to sing the lead on the remake of a ballad by a former member of The Flamingos, Tommy Hunt, titled, Human.
