The Cretones - Thin Red Line
March 1980
The Cretones
Thin Red Line
Genre: Power Pop
3.25 out of 5
Should we make “Real Love” a highlight? It’s a good tune and it was a slight hit but…I don’t know. There are better tunes on this. Like “Everyone’s Mad at Katherine”, which has a sort of New York Boardwalk feel to it.
Three of the tracks here, “Mad Love”, “Justine” and “Cost of Love” would find themselves on Linda Ronstadt’s mad Love album. They are better there. She had an ear, man.
I would say pass on Cretones’ versions of these tunes and go listen to Linda.
