Love That Dirty Water: The Standells and the Improbable Red Sox Victory Anthem ReviewFor more than ten years now the song that's immediately played after every home victory by the Boston Red Sox (Baseball's World Champions in 2004 & 2007) has been "Dirty Water" by the Standells. Love That Dirty Water! The Standells and the Improbable Red Sox Victory Anthem tells the story of the band, the song and how it became the anthem of the Red Sox Nation.
One thing about Love That Dirty Water! that was interesting was learning of the intertwining of pop music and the Red Sox, including an account of the original Red Sox victory anthem "Tessie" and how it was revamped by the Dropkick Murphys just in time for 2004 and an account of the brief mid-60s music career (including a few 45s & an contract with RCA) of Tony Conigliaro, the Dustin Pedoria of his day, whose baseball career was derailed by an infamous beaning in 1967.
The bulk of Love That Dirty Water! solidly documents the Standells' story, as well as that of their producer and the author of "Dirty Water", Ed Cobb from the beginnings in early 60s LA and culminating in the surprise appearance by the reformed group to play the song live for the first time in 35 years in front of a packed Fenway Park crowd before Game 2 of the 2004 World Series. To me, the whole story reads like a non-fiction version of That Thing You Do. There's plenty of vintage pictures of the band, as well as a detailed Standells discography and even the liner notes to the original albums. Love That Dirty Water!, or at least at large part of it should appeal to many except probably for Yankees fans.
