Awesome and infectious!! After such a long break, a new album from many groups would be a dull pastiche of previous glory days, or would be a dubious change of style and journey down some dodgy musical cul de sac. Not so Huey & Co. The sound is more rounded and there is more obvious Soul/R&B/Jazz influence than in their previous work, and Huey's voice is mellower than ever; but the essence is the same. A couple of songs are only 'OK', but the rest are excellent and unrelentingly upbeat- you will definitely be tapping your feet and singing along to this one!

Huey Lewis and the News haven't been heard much here in the UK for a good few years now, and their music has been put to the back of the drawer marked '80s' along with the Rubik's Cube and the legwarmers. This collection of new material demonstrates that you just can't keep a good band down. Evolving from their incessant touring (they play at least 100 shows a year) this album has the feel of a live, gigging band that know what they are doing. Huey's voice hasn't lost its trademark rasp, and if anything his vocals are better now than they ever have been. The music itself has matured from the 80s pop/rock scene to a more mellow R&B feel, which is no bad thing, as I imagine most of their 80s fans have done much the same thing. Fantastic musicianship, punchy brass riffs, and bass lines to die for. The usual well-chosen cover version is represented here by Nick Lowe's 'When I Write the Book' - a single if ever I heard one. Huey Lewis and the News may not have been here for a long time, but they are certainly here for a good time!

Well, it's been ten years since Huey Lewis and the News came up with a new album (not counting the 1994 release "Four Chords and several years ago" which only featured cover versions) and this album was definitely worth the wait.
However it's not in the tone of Huey & the News from the eighties - this album is all about R&B. If you own the "Time Flies" Greatest Hits compilation (which featured some new songs by the boys) you know what I am talking about, because Plan B is very much a continuation of the new material featured on "Time Flies".
Plan B is all about groove, great songs, great music. It is an absolute joy to listen to this album - Huey going more R&B but still being very recognizable for the old fans. The album spawns such great tunes like "My Other Woman", "I Ain't Perfect", "When I write the book", "The Rhythm Ranch" or "Let Her Go And Start Over". Hueys voice is top notch, the band has never sounded so perfect and the production of this album is ablsolutely awesome. So, to sum it all up - if you are looking for some really great music, buy this album - it's absolutely worth the money!

The start of a music revolution to my ears.
Huey Lewis And The News have been around for a long time (21 years). They thought it was time for a change in direction. Coinicidently, a change in the lineup occurred too. Read more
