The 1980 Listening Post - Dr. Hook - Rising

Dr. Hook - Rising 



1980 Housekeeping

Dr. Hook

Rising

Genre: Unctuous Soft Rock

2 out of 5




Opening with the snarky “Girls Can Get It” is not a great choice for my first Dr. Hook album. They start things off with a song that someone actually sat down and wrote about how it’s easier for girls to get some than it is for men?

Now, I would have a problem with this because it’s sung by a dude but it’s written by a woman. Give it to her to sing. Otherwise you sound like a friend of Benny Mardones complaining at the bar. 




Omg, the horror show of these lyrics don’t stop. “That Didn’t Hurt Too Bad”…is…execrable. 


This band is a roofie made into human form.
