Paul Revere & the Raiders were a very unstable band. If you look into their history on Wikipedia you will see that they had so many changes throughout their relatively short history hits period. I am not sure why 1001 Albums… included Midnight Ride in the list at all. It is not that great of an album.
It starts off okay with the song “Kicks” and hits its peak with “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone“, but unfortunately they did not have a hit with that song. In fact, it became a hit for The Monkees. I bet that was a kick to the groin.
The Raiders have only one #1 hit “Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)“. It is a really good song with a great beat, but it came out in 1971. I think the whole weird outfits thing and the many changes in the band killed it for them. A real band has some consistency for the fans. People hate change.
Overall, I cannot find a purpose for this album and band to be listed in the book. I can barely see a reason for them to have existed at all. For the time period and the music I have listened to so far in 1966 this seems boring. 3/10.
hey it's osh 
That one song is good. The others – eh…
