The 1982 Listening Post - Toby Redd - A to Z

 Reviewed by Allen Lulu / LISTENING POST DISCOVERY

Released: 1982 Toby Redd A To Z Genre: Power Pop Rating: 4.25 out of 5 Highlights: Can't Get A Job More Time Make It Up To You Melea Requisite 80s Cover: An unrecognizable “It Ain’t Me Babe” that proves that good songs are good songs are good songs. A tight power pop group from Detroit that boasts Pre-RHCP Chad Smith as the drummer. But not on this record, apparently. He would join on the next one. What’s happening here is a solid set of rockers with swagger and punch. Are they in the wrong timeline? Yes, definitely. But they got the riffs and the licks and I bet they threw a helluva party. The pair of quntuplet drum hits in the solo of “Make It Up To” made me wish that fucker streamed. I neeeeeeed that on a playlist.
