This is a killer album that came out in ’91 and was definitely against the trend at the time. For some reason, the band attracted an awful lot of hate and derision, especially in the UK which I just don’t understand. I guess when you’re successful and it’s not what was trendy at the time, all the hip journo’s and mags will hate you no matter what.
This is one of the grooviest records you will hear, and it sure is a fun record. We have all heard the singles Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong, and Two Princes, both are great tracks with great melodies and sing-a-long chorus’, but it’s the deeper cuts I love. What Time Is It is just awesome with a killer funky groove and some great guitar from Eric Schenkman. If you catch them live these tracks just extend into great jams. Refrigerator Car is another awesome tune with a killer riff and bass with a wicked groove.
They are still around playing live and are a fixture in the jam band circuit – although they don’t release a whole bunch. This is the MOV reissue and it sounds superb – as do the majority of there releases. This is a killer album, and yes, everyone should own one.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
