DB Cooper - Dangerous Curves 

#607

1981 Housekeeping

DB Cooper

Dangerous Curves

Genre: Power Pop

3.25 out of 5

Highlights:

Tonight

This is an album by a band that obviously heard all three of Joe Jackson’s first albums and loved them and decided they would try to find the wedge between I’m the Man and Beat Crazy. 

Solid playing, excellent production, unmemorable songs that don’t grab ya. 

What happened to Dirty Boy Cooper? From the looks of it he wrote for Sue Saad as well as Uriah Heep. He must have had good management there for a while. 

Wither DB Cooper?

There’s Jackson and Springfield and Parker all over this thing. He certainly learned from the best.

Did Joe sue Cooper for stealing his sound? Can he? In retrospect? Regardless of if Cooper made any money off this album or if just to get some hands on that sweet, jumpin’ from the plane stolen cash (I know it wasn’t this guy but…)

There is, like, no information about Cooper on the webz. The rhythm guitarist, Ric Streeter, showed up on some forum that you can dig for but, I have no idea who they were or where they went after their next album. 

“Right Here, Right Now” is the weirdest hybridization of Joe Jackson’s “Got the Time” and The Rolling Stones. And it works!

I could pretty much highlight just about ever track from this Power Pop gem from the Year of the Power Pop Album Before the Knacklash.

It’s solid. 

And I really wanna know what the heck happened to DB Cooper? How did this guy disappear like the guy he named himself for?
