Once again, we come across the original cliche.  All right, maybe I don't have the musical history knowledge to make this claim, but this album is a pretty early example of the whole "nah nah nah nah nah" craze.  Is it not clear what I am talking about?  How about an example from television:

That's the best example I could find since I don't want to torture anyone with a Full House reference.  Haven't we suffered enough on this blog (see BeeGees and bongo bands)?

The problem with revisiting early music is that by the time you listen to it, you have heard it done so many times that it can just be extremely dull to sit through.  However, I was pleasantly surprised with this album.  It wasn't particularly exciting, but it was pure gritty blues and a fun listen.

RATING: 4/5
