Deep Cuts.......2007-06-05

Deep Cuts~ The Knife is a great album filled with well-produced electronic music. They sound like a mix of early 80's minimal synth-music like early human league and mix this up with sounding like Goldfrapp and other more modern synth bands. The lyrics are ok but one will never confuse the knife with great lyricists such as Martin Gore or Marian Gold. I love the sounds and they seem to have been picked by hand since every sound is just right for the track. The cover-art ( if you now can call it art, I have my doubts) is terrible and looks like a failed high-school project. The photo is terrible and the font is way to small and some of the colors make it even harder to read. Even so this is a great album and it definetely deserves its 4 stars. I highly recommend this album.

Worth it for "Heartbeats" alone.......2007-05-07

The album is all downhill after that first track, but what a hill to slide your way down! More than anything else, this strikes me as a hybrid of Black Cherry-era Goldfrapp and Teagan & Sara. In other words, driving electro backdrops plus girl vocals ranging somewhere between Marlene Dietrich and pouty adorability. The Swedish accent also puts some of this in Björk territory, though the song structures here are more traditional. Also lurking not too far in the background is 80s technopop stars Berlin; although "You Take My Breath Away" is not a cover, the keyboard line in "Girls' Night Out" owes a huge debt to "The Metro," and the generally tinny timbre of the electronics also hearkens back to the early days of digital synths.

So, in short: (Goldfrapp + Teagan & Sara) x Berlin ÷ Björk = The Knife. Enjoy!

Your mind will be reshaped.......2007-04-10

It's easy to find this music enthralling. The way it affects your senses, your mood, is completely different from anything you'll experience any time soon. The Knife is completely original.

While some tracks, like "The Cop," are too strange for my liking, tracks like "Heartbeats" and "Rock Classics" and of course the youtube hit "Pass This On" will truly stick with you. You never want to press skip on those.

I hope this helps.

not as good as Silent Shout but still worth listening.......2007-03-09

Nothing beats Silent Shout (an album with no bad tracks in my opinion and one of my favorite albums ever), but there are some great cuts on this album (Heartbeats, 3 remixes of tracks, You Make Me Like Charity, The Bridge). Deep Cuts is a bit more poppy and not nearly as refined as Silent Shout. Definitely worth buying though if you're a fan of The Knife. Do anything you can to see them live.

Blast from the past.......2007-01-09

This is a great collection of Twisted Sister. I definitely would recommend this to any fan of Twisted Sister. You can't find this type of good rock n' roll anymore!

Cover doesn't say "GREATEST HITS".......2006-11-21

I have been a huge Twisted fan for over 25 years. I watched them evolve from their small club dates in upstate New York to their immense popularity in the mid eighties. I sadly watched as internal turmoil tore this band apart in the late eighties, was pleasantly surprised by their collaboration for "Heroes Are Hards To Find" from Dee's Strangeland movie and impressed by their reunion after 9/11. It was like they never left. However, for those of you who disapprove of this recording, please see that the cover does not say "Greatest Hits". Twisted was not about "greatest hits". They were about great music. Sure, they could have included great cuts like "Come Out And Play" or "Wake Up (the Sleeping Giant" (which may be, admittedly, one of their best tracks). However, they included several "live" tracks which is what makes them special. If you have never seen a "live" show, catch them before it is too late. They are the rare band who are amazing "live". Studio recordings do not do them justice. Okay, so not all of their best songs are included here. If you want all their great music, suck it up and buy their other CD's. You won't regret it. But, what IS here is what they were all about... great band and great music. Live on SMF's...

Twisted Sister Rocks!.......2006-08-30

In continuation of the so-called Reagen Rock years, this compilation lives up to its name. Who doesn't love the groove from "I Wanna Rock"?

It is what it says it is........2006-01-26

People, the name of the CD is "big Hits and Nasty Cuts", not "Twisted Sister's Greatest Hits and Nothing else." As a loooooong time Ts fan, I love the fact that this CD represents the full picture of the band. Sure, they had some huge hits in the hayday of hair metal, but in the late 70s and early 80s, they were one of the most vicious live acts around in terms of their intensity. the live tracks recorded at the Marquee Club in London show just how intense they were before their radio-friendly hits were recorded. I think the name of the CD says it all and no one should be surprised at what they are getting when they buy it. The Cd has equal helpings of their most well-known hits, as well as just enough early live stuff to show you what they sounded like before they were the darlings of MTV.

For fans of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, et al., this is the essential cartoon soundtrack as well as a monument to surrealism. During his 22 years as a composer for Warner Bros. animated shorts, Stalling invented the musical vocabulary of cartoons. Producer Hal Willner has lovingly assembled a sonic collage that showcases Stalling's compositional genius and uncanny ability to borrow a tune. It's a whirling collection of random moments, chock full of music you never knew you knew, from Bugs Bunny's theme from "Rabbit Fire" to Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" to Stalling's own "Woo! Woo!" Also included in the mix: outtakes from recording sessions, and several complete scores. --Heidi MacDonald

Best compilation CD ever.......2007-02-18

Carl Stalling gave me the best musical education I ever had. I'm spending the rest of my life learning the titles and composers of all the hundreds of tunes I first heard in his cartoon scores. I've had this CD ever since it came out, and it still is one of my favorites.

Only a handful of tracks are a complete score from one cartoon; most are snippets from several cartoons edited together with a common theme.

This CD is about a composer and his music, more than about the cartoons for which he composed it. To drive home this point, it includes the score from, of all things, 1939's "The Good Egg." No one would consider "The Good Egg" to be among the best Warner cartoons, but the score, heard by itself, turns out to be a tour de force that is highly representative of Stalling's work. That's what makes this CD such a great listening experience: It was pieced together by musicologists who chose the music based on its auditory qualities, and not on the relative fame of the cartoon associated with it. It is not merely a trip down memory lane (although it is that, too), but is a great creative work in its own right.

Despite the vast amount of Stalling music that exists, this CD provides as ambitious and exhaustive an overview as can be given, and its 1995 follow-up, while also worth having, is but a pale afterthought. There's no following this act.

Here we go........2006-11-16

This CD features music from the Warner Brothers cartoon film scores by Carl Stalling. There are some complete scores and also some "medleys", with clips from various cartoons strung together. Carl Stalling was a master at writing music for cartoons, but something is lost when you just hear the music without seeing the cartoon.

Stallings CDs.......2006-11-10

If you harken back to the days when you snuggled on the couch on a Saturday morning with your little ones, and ate donuts and drank juice and watched "Bugs Bunny" you will love these CDs. You'll recognize all the characters and their entrances and their pratfalls...and laugh and say "I've heard that!"...it's a walk down memory lane and a very special one, at that. I highly reccommend these to anyone who loves B Bunny.
Not to mention these are some of the finest musicians you will ever hear...a lesson in classical music, and cartoons.

The Carl Stalling Project.......2005-09-12

Music from Warner Brothers cartoons "Golden Years" (1936-1958).
Carl Stalling was the chief music arranger for Warner Brothers cartoons from 1936 to 1958. He was one of the foremost composers of cartoon music. This disk is much better than "The Carl Stalling Project Volume II."

Warner Brother's King of Music.......2003-12-02

Even if you do not recognize his name, Carl Stalling is a very familiar composer. He wrote the soundtrack for many of our young lives as the composer for Warner Bros.' "Merrie Melodies" and "Looney Tunes" cartoons from late 1930's to late 1970's. Hal Willner has compiled this CD that for the first time lets you hear the music on its own, and lets you realize just how much of the cartoons' impact came from Stalling's music.

Willner sifted through hundreds of cartoons to choose about 40 with the most significant music. He presents the music in a variety of formats. A few tracks provide the soundtrack for a single entire cartoon. Others are medlies from a certain period in Stalling's career or pieces that set a particular mood (such as the "Anxiety Montage"). There are also tapes from recording sessions for 1951's "Putty Tat Trouble" that give insight on how this music was recorded. I couldn't recommend this CD any more highly. (After you've given it a listen, check out a Raymond Scott "best of" album like "Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights" to see just how many of its tracks are familiar from various cartoons.)

Stalling's music, instead of following the traditional rules of musical structure (exposition, development, theme, variations, etc.), was written to follow the rapid action of cartoons. Stalling would not compromise on this, even if it meant having the 50-piece orchestra play fortissimo for five seconds and then having only one piccolo playing the next four seconds. To ensure a perfect correspondence between the sound and the image, Stalling and the cartoon's directors would agree on a few sketches and on the timing of the action. This enabled Stalling to compose and record the music without even seeing the movie. Carl Stalling was also a master at telling a story through music, with gestures so clear, that there is never any doubt as to his intentions.

Stalling once said, "One problem with cartoons today is that they have so much dialogue the music doesn't mean much." Unfortunately, this statement rings true as we move into 2004. But keeping Carl Stalling from rolling in his grave is not why you need to buy this CD. You need it because it is IMPOSSIBLE to maintain a bad mood while this CD is playing. You need this to listen to as a stress reducer on those tough days. You need this because it is complete childhood in a disc.

I challenge you to turn on your television and watch some Looney Tunes. Turn up the volume and listen while doing something else (wash dishes, write a paper perhaps.) I guarantee you will know exactly what is happening, and to whom. This was the comedic skill and genius talent of Carl Stalling.

As Porky Pig would say: "abieh-abieh-abieh... That's All Folks!"

The Archies sing Sugar, Sugar........2005-09-11

When I was serving my country in South Viet Nam, I would hear this song every morning at about the same time. It would make me smile and think about the one I loved back in the states. I grew to love this song very much and still do. It's a shame that the stations do not play fun music like this on a regular basis.

very grovy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-02-22

cool,grovy,great,fantastic this cd is good you can hear the classic song of sugar,sugar,but the others are good too, dont forget jingle jangle,bang shang-a-lang,rock 'n' roll and the other songs

Decent Quality, but..........2004-11-25

There are better collections out there but it's good to hear "Time For Love" on this one. At least until the 'official' release comes out.

A budget collection of the bubblegum hits of the Archies.......2004-01-13

This budget collection of the "Greatest Hits" of the Archies only has 10 tracks recorded by faux-group spawned for the Saturday morning cartoon show. This is a decent collection of bubblegum music ("bubblegum" music was labeled as such because of its childish qualities, mass production values, and instant disposability), but since the Archies put out six albums you might want something with more sticks to get longer lasting flavor. I never watched the cartoon show (and read the comics only when every other comic book in my cousins' house had been consumed) so all I really remembered was "Sugar, Sugar," which is, of course, the one Archies' song that everybody remembers. I vaguely recalled there was another "hit" from the group, which turned out to be "Jingle Jangle" (well, gee, that should have been obvious).

Anyhow, everything in the Archies oeuvre might not be here, and certainly one has to be in the mood for this distinctive subset of pop music, but this is pretty good bubblegum music: "Bang Shang-a-Lang" could be your next guilty pleasure song. Most of the songs are written by Len Barry and Andy Kim, and performed by Ron Dante (who co-writes a couple as well). This is not first-rate bubblegum music, which would be Tommy James & the Shondells (and some stuff by the Monkees", but once you get to the second tier this is as good as it gets. Besides, Wilson Pickett did a soul cover of "Sugar, Sugar," so there must have been some pink gold here.

If you really like bubblegum music than the greatest hits albums by the Archies and Tommy Roe would be the only collections of individual artists in this genre worth having. Everything else worth having, such as "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" by the Ohio Express and "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse, you can pick up on one of the various bubblegum hit collections.

Sugar, Sugar.......2002-12-16

Sugar, Sugar is the only song on the whole CD which is GREAT. The Other songs sound like [garbage]!!!!!!

Real Blues for Real People.......2007-06-16

This is the way it is supposed to sound. Why some people think that old 78's will magically sound like current digital recordings is beyond belief! That aside, this is a GREAT collection of country delta blues played by real people who lived the blues. This is the real deal for a very reasonable price. The neat thing about collections like this is that you hear real blues from different people with different styles. This is how you expand your appreciation. This is how you learn. This is how your grow. Get over the occasional nicks and scratches in the sound; think of it as adding to the experience, and appreciate what is being performed. This stuff is really great!

Rare but fine Country Blues of the Highest Caliber.......2007-05-13

JSP continues to challenge Yazoo and Document records with their re-releases (with very good mastering to boot) of country blues and this set is no exception. For 25 bucks you get some of the finest and rarest country blues put to shellac (this set was mastered from 80-year old 78's where in some cases, only 1 or 2 copies is known to exist).

Unfortunately, some of these artists recorded for Paramount records, a company notorious for manufacturing records that would self-destruct after 20 plays.

Don't be discouraged by the sound quality; in most cases on this set, it is exemplary considering that the bulk of this material was recorded before 1930. What we have here are some of the earliest examples of country blues (i.e. Freddie Spruell), pure and unaffected because it preceded the advent of radio airplay and music company marketing hyperbole.

Those who have not reveled in the fabulous bottleneck playing and tortured singing of Sam Butler (Bo Weevil Jackson) or King Solomon Hill (Joe Holmes) are missing the origins of much popular "roots" music and the regional musical styles that existed before the depression.

Similarly, listen to the late Robert Lockwood's earliest acoustic sides before he went on to embellish Sonny Boy Williamson's (Willie Rice Miller) and Little Walter's most famous Chess material, and Otis Spann's beautiful recordings for Candid records.

This set has too many superlatives to mention in an Amazon review, but it must be said that these recordings, although performed when the term "indigenous music" could be applied without exaggeration, were to become a major influence on so much of the popular music that followed it 10 and 20 years later.

As always, JSP has delivered a lot for a little. If you have any interest in pre-war country blues, it doesn't come any better than this.

Mississippi Blues.......2007-05-12

We were anxious to receive the CDs as we are avid listeners of Blues and Jazz music. However were disappointed at the quality of the music. It was scratchy and difficult to hear. We thought it would have been digitally updated but found it was not. We are sorry we purchased the CDs.

Album Description

A collection of Steve's finest work from his Magna Carta sessions Bonus: 11 minute video interview with Steve. Steve Morse performing with Terry Bozzio, Dave LaRue, James Murphy, Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, Van Romaine, Jordan Rudess, Billy Sheehan and Mark Wood.

Take almost anything Morse does on these compositions, whether it's the ever-darting, constantly modulating ostinato on "Heightened Awareness", or the thematic line from "Busybodies", or perhaps the dense layers of "Wooden Music". You will notice that melody always takes precedence. Mind you, you' ll also get a good dose of speed and heightened articulation: Perhaps this is what happens when a left-handed player turns the guitar around and plays it the "right" way. It places his stronger hand on the neck, promoting dexterity—and adding a certain "meat" to the tone. Morse's lines don't whither or trail off. Of course, this is very much a conscious effort and has much to do with his right hand picking virtually every note—not a lot of slurring going on! Also key to his unique sound is the design of his instrument, one that has evolved from the early years when he employed multiple pickups to catch every string nuance.

Steve wears his southern influences on his sleeve. While his tone speaks of the blues greats, it also twangs of the country. Listen to the way he handles the Yes standard, "The Clap". No question, Morse can hang with the likes of Albert Lee any day.

Aside from deep country and that Dixie funk, Morse exhibits a huge variety of guitar influences, from Steve Howe to John McLaughlin, the latter who seemed to define for a generation the proper ratio of jazz to rock. Then there's this pervasive baroque thing, almost Mozart like in its staccato phrases and Bach like in its serenity—evidence, perhaps, of Steve's classical studies in Florida (check out "Air on a 6-String" or the figure that begins around 00.50 on "Prognosis"). No wonder he used to typify his work as "modern chamber music"!

Customer Reviews:

very original with righteous La Villa cover.......2007-05-10

If for no other reason, buy this strictly for the La Villa Strangiato cover. It is obvious to me that Steve uses this song as a warm-up; for he effortlessly shreds this composition from top to bottom in a truly unique and fresh way. I never thought it possible to improve on this song; but somehow Steve's guitar aggressively explores a new dimension - all in the spirit of the Rush original.

Aside from this cover, almost all other songs layer creative and fresh musical compositions that both sound good and demonstrate Steve's amazing musicianship.

Other talented guitarists aim to prove their worthiness by cramming a bazillion sixty-fourth notes into each passing measure. Steve knows better.

Prime time!.......2005-11-14

I just bought "Prime Cuts" and "Rapture of the Deep" by Deep Purple (featuring Morse on guitar). Both albums are enjoyable in different ways. "Prime Cuts" shows off Steve's guitar work on this instrumental disc. "Rapture of the Deep" shows Steve blending in with the other musicians of Deep Purple. A powerful rock album.

"Prime Cuts" = 4 1/2 stars
"Rapture of the Deep" = 5 stars

It's Steve. What else can I say?.......2005-07-08

While not the best way to get started on your collection of Steve Morse's music, for those of us who have everything else, it is a way to hear a cut or two you may not have.

I didn't have the RUSH tribute cut in my collection, for example.

Any Steve Morse cut is worth having.

By the way, I just got to see Deep Purple again and that may be another way to add to your collection of Steve's music. All of their material from the last 10 years is heavily laced with Steve's influence.

A great cross-section.......2006-12-06

"Prime Cuts" is a best-of album so, you either like ST or you don't. Being a 20-year ST fan, I love having a cross-section of their material. (Personally, I was surprised the "Controlled by Hatred" didn't make the cut (no pun intended). If you're not a ST fan, then this is a great introduction. They never really made it big but they had some great material. Any interest in skater-thrash or metal? If so, ST is for you.

Strange selection of "best" ST songs.......2006-11-16

This album only gets three stars from me because I genuinely believe they could have gone for a much better "best of" selection than they did. Gotta Kill Captain Stupid and Lovely wouldn't touch my top 20 ST songs. Having said that, it's still ST so it's gotta be great.

amazing!.......2006-11-08

I had this album years ago when i was in high school, for some unknown reason (young and stupid is probably a good guess), i sold it. For years i've missed the sounds of ST and wished i had it still. I'm glad i bought it again.

Duh!.......2006-01-03

Pedants would be forced to admit that this band is class. They're awesome live and are still trying to keep it real despite the detractors who want to criticise everything these guys do! Suicidal have provided just about everything to music and never get the appreciation.

At least they were bothered re-recording songs instead of just re-releasing them. The quality of music is high.

The variety is awesome.

Suicidal Tendencies - 'Prime Cuts:Best Of' (Sony).......2005-12-16

Well,what do you know?I was rummaging through some CD's I haven't heard in awhile and I came across this.'Prime Cuts' features tunes from five out of eight(at the time of this release,anyway)S.T. albums,plus two new songs "Beserk" and "Feed The Addiction".I've never been all THAT huge of a Suicidal fan,but I've always liked some of their better known material,here like "Institutionalized",their total ass kick-in-the-groin "Pledge Your Allegiance" and "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow".An added bonus to this disc is the art that appears on the back cover.Top of the line punk/thrash.Check it out.A should-have.

Jackyl, Rock Me Roll Me.......2004-05-14

Jackyl, Choice Cuts, reveals a great deal of talent, with a little bit of AC-DC and a pinch of Skynyrd. With guest, Brian Johnson (of AC-DC) on the vocals of Locked and Loaded and the accoustic Secret of The Bottle, Choice Cuts will always stay at the top of my list of Rock and Roll Supergroups!!!

Classic RocknRoll.......2002-06-24

What's to say about this collection?
Great hard rock that isn't afraid have songs laden with catchy hooks and melodies. So many metal bands today focus on heaviness and abandon the tunes.

From the enthusiastic We're an American Band, to the final energetic live recordings, this is an upbeat, getupandgo CD; though Jackyl show a darker, more mature side on songs like Secret of the Bottle, I Am the Walrus, and the melancholic Misery Loves Company. Surprisingly, they pull these slower, more thoughtful numbers off with ease and style.

Despite the fact that Jackyl appeared at the tail-end of the 80s hair metal breakthrough, they aren't popmetal. As they say themselves inside, they draw more influence from 70s hard rock, and their songs are strong and melodic enough not to have to resort to watered-down pop tunes or dire, pointless solos.

I don't know why many consider The Lumberjack to be Jackyl's greatest song. Granted, the chainsaw solos are original, but I'd say it was below the high standard of other tracks featured here.
My only complaints about this album are: the essay inside makes them sound pretty moronic (talking about alternative music: "we kicked the dawg!") Jesse James Dupree's voice can grate on the nerves after repeated listens, and Jackyl chose to release nothing in Britain. They could've reached a lot of people, don't they realise AC/DC are Scottish???

Those complaints don't overshadow the fact that this is a five star CD though: if you like good old-fashioned RocknRoll music then pick this up.

Maybe a 90's Date, But a Solid Sound Nonetheless!.......2001-05-04

When I bought the album, I was not certain what to expect. I knew Down On Me from it's radio play, but didn't know what the rest of the album would sound like. Nine times out of ten, I usually only like the songs I've heard before. This time, I got a good one! I was pleasantly surprised with it and am strongly considering picking up the other albums available.

Having heard Down On Me, I expected the band to have a sound like Dokken and other hard rocking hair bands that are a little bit harder than the other bands. Since they started at the end of the hair bend trend (though a trend that produced the greatest music ever), Jackyl combined the generic rock and roll done hard and fast that hair bands brought to the table and also has a lot of the blues based hard rock like ACDC in their music. As a matter of fact, Brian Johnson, ACDC's lead singer, joins the band to perform "Locked and Loaded" which, not having heard it before, I can honestly say was alone worth the price of the album. It's just a great song, and this is a lot of great music that will help you smile.

Again, it's a feel good bang your head, shake your butt, blow out the speakers in your car album that must be had by all! You will not listen to this album and want to crawl up in a ball and be left alone. It isn't awful grunge music that makes you feel depressed! It's not alternative which translates into depression! It's just great rock and roll music and there isn't a song on the album that I don't like!

JACKYL IS AWESOME!.......1999-12-11

I've seen Jackyl once and I'm seeing them twice. In Allentown Pa. On 12/15/99! Love them. They are the most talented musicians that I've come across in a long time. No words can explain Jesse James Duprees' performances'. I really enjoy this greatest hits cd. They've come a long way......And I know that they're there! LOVE YOU GUYS........KEEP ROCKIN'I

best off all time.......1999-10-06

this is the best cd by jackyl. If you don't have it you need to get i

Customer Reviews:

Life could be dream.......2007-04-05

If you wish to dive deep into the 50's this disc should be your choice. I was not familiar with The Crew Cuts before and was relying solely on their hit "Sh-boom (Life could be dream)" Their music is satisfying to those who love 50's. However, if you not sure if you totally in love with this kind of music try a CD with variety of artists.

CREW CUTS MEDIUM WELL DONE.......2006-08-02

THIS CD HAS A LOT OF SONGS THAT OTHERS MADE HITS. THE CREW CUTS VERSIONS OF THOSE SONGS ARE DISAPPOINTING. HOWEVER THEIR SIGNATURE TUNES ARE GREAT.

A very good collection of a very underrated group's work.......2004-08-12

The Crew Cuts were a Canadian group which had a number of hits back in the 1950s. The songs were, by and large, "covers": songsthat had been done by rhythm & blues groups,which they redid in a style better suited to the majority's tastes of the day. As such, they are badly vilified by r&b devotees, who seem to treat the cover versions as desecrations of holy objects. Well, I was, back then, one of that big majority that preferred the covers to the r&b original, and I still, 50 years later, do. This CD includes all the big Crew Cuts hits, including "Sh-Boom" and "Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)" which were the biggest. It also includes aome covers that never charted (where other artists had the hit version) like "Young Love" and "Two Hearts, Two Kisses (Make One Love)." And it includes some songs I've never heard by any artist before. I've always liked the Crew Cuts' sound, and as I've already said here, thought their covers were better than the originals, so, no surprise, I like this album. If you're into r&B, you won't. But if your taste agrees with mine, you'll be happy if you buy this CD.

Best of the Crew Cuts.......2002-04-29

Actually, I have the best of the Crew Cuts. My Husband, Pat Barrett, is one of them and, of course, I think he is the best.
I was very happy to be able to find a CD as I have not been able to do that in this area
We both enjoyed listening to the tape. There are a few songs that Pat was not crazy about, but, all in all, it was great.
I am going to order more for my friends and relatives.

FANTASTIC CREW.......2001-04-22

GO NORTH YOUNG MAN (AND LADY), UP TO CANADA, AND YOU WILL BE TREATED TO SOME OF THE GREATEST VOCAL GROUPS OF ALL TIME. THE DIAMONDS, THE FOUR LADS, THE CREW-CUTS, JUST TO NAME A FEW. THIS COMPILATION OF THE CREW-CUTS IS ABSOLUTELY FIRST RATE. WHEN ROCK WAS YOUNG, THESE GUYS WERE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL. HIGHLY POLISHED, DANCABLE, AND JUST PLAIN GOOD ROCK HARMONIES TO LISTEN TO.
