Toby Redd - A to Z
1982 Housekeeping LISTENING POST DISCOVERY
Toby Redd
A to Z
Genre: Power Pop
4.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Can’t Get a Job
More Time
Make It Up to You
Melea
Requisite 80s Cover: An unrecognizable “It Ain’t Me Babe” that proves that good songs are good songs are good songs.
A tight power pop group from Detroit that boasts Pre-RHCP Chad Smith as the drummer. But not on this record, apparently. He would join on the next one.
What’s happening here is a solid set of rockers with swagger and punch. Are they in the wrong timeline? Yes, definitely. But they got the riffs and the licks and I bet they threw a helluva party. The pair of quntuplet drum hits in the solo of “Make It Up To” made me wish that fucker streamed. I neeeeeeed that on a playlist.
