Mercury SRM-3793
This veteran group’s first for Mercury is a high-powered blend of rock, blues and jazz. Catapulted along by Southside Johnny’s gutsy vocals, this album never lets up for a minute. Though it is Johnny who is the focal point of attention, the entire group is outstanding. Notably, guitarist Willy Rush and the horn section add dimension to the 10 songs included. The band proves itself to be as good with a ballad (“Wait In Vain,” “Paris,”) as on the uptempo numbers which dominate the LP.
Best cuts: “All I Want Is Everything,” “The Time,” “Wait In Vain,” “Paris,” “Your Reply.”
