The Astronauts "Everything Is A-OK" 1964

Everything Is A-OK! is a little schizophrenic, containing rock & roll ("Money," "It's So Easy"), blues ("Stormy Monday," "Big Boss Man"), pop ("Dream Lover"), R&B ("What'd I Say") and collegiate folk-pop ("If I Had a Hammer," "Shortnin' Bread"). Needless to say, it doesn't hold together as well as its predecessor, but there are a number of good moments. - AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Surf group from Boulder, Colorado. Formed in 1960 as the Stormtroopers and signed to the RCA label a few years later in an effort to compete with the success of the Beach Boys.

Members included Rich Fifield, Dennis Lindsey, and Bob Demmon on guitars, Stormy Patterson on bass, and drummer Jim Gallagher- discogs
