The 1981 Listening Post - Halifax - Halifax

Halifax - Halifax


#634

1981 Housekeeping

Halifax

Halifax

Genre: Rawk

2.75 out of 5


Highlights:

Confused Man



You know what I love? Nova Scotia. Love it. Only been there once but I kissed the cod, was screeched in and, based on playing with a bunch of Labrador puppies, decided to get a Black Lab. 


I do not know what a Southern Rock band from Louisiana has to do with Halifax. Is there a Halifax, Louisiana? No? 

Can we talk about how weirdly awesome those keyboards are? 


Oh, Halifax…who were you?


If they came out today they would tour with Greta Van Fleet and everyone would accuse them of ripping someone off. 


There’s nothing to really highlight but I’d like to talk about “Rock and Roll Lovers”. These guys obviously were listening to “Taking Care of Business” and decided to try to rewrite it. Which was…not a good idea. 


Point off for the lyric about southern girls selling their meat. But extra point for the brass ring reaching Zep rip “Confused Man”
