When You Ask About Love
You know that this is like? (I’m trying to avoid the word “sounds”) Adam Ant’s take on Rockabilly on Viva Le Rock. Big drums and very twangy geetars. I love that record. It’s bonkers. This one WANTS to be thought of as bonkers but they seem to be trying too hard. If you put Adam in a blender with the Beat Farmers, this might be what it would sound like.
The covers of “C’mon, Let’s Go” and “Marie Marie” just have me hankering for the original, better versions.
