Ok, I’ll bite. Where has this band been? How did I miss out on this stuff?
“Baby Jean” Kennedy is a freaking force, man. This album is a party.
Heirs to this record are bands like Raging Slab and Nashville Pussy. Maybe even Halestorm.
I have little to say. This is a record of double guitar boogie attacks, cranked up to 11 and designed to make you tap your toes and bang your head. This actually might be the most head banging record we’ve heard in 1981.
You like a little funk in your rock? Not a whole bunch just enough to groove? This album has it in spades.
Maybe you’ll have a different experience than I did but this is just classic rock that could be served up today and you might be little the wiser to notice that it’s 40 years old.
