"It's a Cry'n Shame" was recorded in 1966 by the Gentlemen a garage rock band from Oak Cliff, a section of Dallas, Texas, who were active from 1964-1968. The song was written by Seab Meador and Mike Kelley, who were both guitarists and vocalists in the band. The song heavily drenched in fuzz-treated guitar effects reflects the band's direction which was guided by Seab Meador, whose tastes gravitated towards the harder-rocking and more blues-based English bands such as the Rolling Stones, the Animals, the Kinks, and particularly the Yardbirds, who whose lead guitarist of the time, Jeff Beck, was a key influence on his own playing. The songs' lyrics deal with sadness and heartbreak and are sung with an impassioned vocal by Kelly backed by a frantic and intense performance from the band highlighted by Meador's guitar leads.
