Just Like Us! is the fourth studio album by American rock band Paul Revere & the Raiders. Produced by Terry Melcher and released on January 3, 1966, by Columbia Records, it featured the U.S. hit single "Just Like Me". Unlike their later albums, on which Mark Lindsay was the primary lead singer, the lead vocal duties on Just Like Us! were split among him and the other band members, guitarist Drake Levin, bassist Phil Volk, and drummer Mike Smith. | url= | title=Just Like Us! - Review | publisher=Allmusic (Rovi Corporation) | date= | accessdate=2009-01-13}} This was their last album of cover songs, their next album Midnight Ride was mostly self-penned material.
