The 1985 Listening Post - Miracle Workers - Inside Out

Miracle Workers - Inside Out


#320/955
1985 Housekeeping
Miracle Workers
Inside Out
Genre: Garage Rock
4.25 out of 5

Highlights:
That Ain’t Me
Love has No Time
Already Gone
Mystery Girl

With a  name like this I expected R&B Mod revival. Instead what we get is straight outta 1968 garage rock. They know how to do it and they do it well and, if this is your jam, it’s full of nuggets that you can feast on (see what I did there?).
Trouble is, I want to move forward and this is so steeped in MC5 nostalgia that it feels like my uncle’s rock. These guys had everything Flamin’ Groovies put out and probably wished they were around when The Hellacopters revived the sound 15 years later. 
But it’s well done. Can’t fault it. It’s an excellent record of what it is.
