I'm not quite sure what it was i was 'thinking' when i initially shirked this disc... Perhaps because it is LIVE recording, possibly due to the BAND's Name (THE GREEN HORNET? What kind Of Band Names itself THE GREEN HORNET??)
Man 'O' man was i OUTTA pocket!! & Regardless Of whatever it was that had 'possessed' @ the time - I'm better know... and better for it,
Esp. now that i've got Andre Williams over here with me....
Andre's release; "BAIT & SWITCH", from a few years back (ON NORTON Records), is a beautiful & 'playful' SHOWCASE Of talent, even having Ronnie Spector & Rudy Ray Moore Showing-up to lend a hand On some numbers, butt even these don't hold a candle OR a ball Of twine to this release! THIS IS "STRAIGHT-UP" HOUSEROCKIN' MUSIC!!
If you can't "DEAL wit' dis" STOP reading RIGHT NOW & Go back to listening to R.E.M. & THE PEPLACEMENTS...
Again I Say:" THIS IS "STRAIGHT-UP" HOUSEROCKIN' MUSIC!!"
Which GOES STRAIGHT into Your EarHole and GETS right down into YOUR SOUL!!
It would seem that i'd momentairly forgotten: "The filth & The Fury" Of seeing Mr. Williams in person. AND this Band THE GREEN HORNET, Sounding an awful lot like THE GORIES, its like he's got THE GORIES As a 'back-up' band and these guys may even to be playing in tune!
CLASSIC CUTS from Mr. Williams repetoire'; JAILBAIT & Shake A Tail Feather, put in an appearance as do more recent tracks: AGILE, MOBILE & HOSTILE, YOU GOT IT & I WANT IT and a COMPLETELY SOUL-WRENCHING,
HEART-STOPPING rendition Of: GET THIS LOVE OFF MY MIND helps to Cool things down On this KiLLER set... would have been nice to hear: The Only Black Man In South Dakota.
From one who's NOT much Of a LiVE Record type fan
Regardless !YOU **NEED** THIS DISC!. ...PERIOD!
YOU JUST NEED TO THIS DISC!!!
