Kicking off with a great cover of
the Kinks' "I Need You," this solid, unpretentious debut album belongs in the home of every fan of English R&B from
the Yardbirds to
the Pretty Things to
Dr. Feelgood. Guitarists
Johnny Guitar and
Zenon de Fleur keep it tight and simple, never wasting a note, and vocalist
Dave Tice is so macho, it's enough to make you laugh. The originals are OK if somewhat predictable blues-based rave-ups, but the energy and good cheer more than make up for the album's derivative nature. Not a deep album by any stretch of the imagination, just good dirty fun.
