 Mark Andrews and the Gents - Big Boy


1980 Housekeeping

Mark Andrews and the Gents

Big Boy

Genre: Rock

3.75 out of 5



Highlights:

West One

Lowlight:

A reggae version of “Born to Be Wild”. The world does not need that, Mark.



You know who this guy is?  Visually he seems to want to appropriate Squiggy’s look and that’s…not great. 

Musically? He comes out of the gate pretty strong sounding awfully like Joe Jackson. And that makes sense. He was Joe’s keyboardist in an early band they were in together. 


So, it’s like Look Sharp lite. Not as good as The Jags but it’ll do.
