4.0 out of 5 stars good, though not stellar, compilation, September 19, 2000

This review is from: All She Wrote (Audio CD)

As much as I love Chaka, (I have been spinning his records for a good 6 years now) I was somewhat let down by this lp. Chaka and Pliers have a wonderful gift- that of their own songwriting skills- and while this is a compilation lp, I think they did too many covers on this lp.

I have spun their cover of Funkadelic's "One Nation Under a Groove" before at clubs, and its a tasty cover, but they overdo the covers after that. Their covers of the Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout" and the Beatles "I Wanna Be Your Man," as well as the rock standard "Roadrunner" are fine in small doses, but in the end a tad lackluster and disappointing.

Their own tracks, including the great "Tease Me," and their debut track, "Gal Wine," better showcase their skills..and who can leave out the immortal "Murder She Wrote," Pliers' shining moment! These tracks prove their talents beyond a shadow of a doubt.

For their own tracks, I gave this compilation a better rating than I planned to, but I love and respect them, and that should count for something.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for summer driving, February 25, 2000

I have absolutely totally worn out my audio tape version of this CD. Totally perfect for blasting in your car for all those summer road trips. Believe me , many a time I have pulled up to stop lights to see people in the car next to me jamming along with the music. Long live Chakademus and Pliers.
