Background: Released in 1966, Lies was the third and final album by the Knickerbockers.
The album reached #134 on the U.S. album chart and the title track, which had many people thinking it was the Beatles, reached #20 on the U.S. singles chart.
Allmusic.com gave Lies a 4 star review:
Recorded in Hollywood, with songwriting contributions from such top sessionmen of the day as Glen Campbell, Jim Seals, and Dash Crofts, this is, aside from the first-rate title track, an extremely generic mid-’60s set, with only one group original other than “Lies.” The Knickerbockers never found an identity, alternating between frat rock, flaccid pop/rock, and strange Wall-of-Sound productions in which the producers apparently had visions of turning them into the Walker Brothers.
