Joe King still plays around Austin and Texas and this is the best of all his uptempo, irresistible songs! A must have for those who want to have a PARTY PARTY WEEKEND. His band is the B-52s of Texas, for sure!

Let this CD rip and fire up the blender! Joe "King" and "party in Texas" are spoken in the same breath. Great music from beginning to end! Sincere ballads like "Tears" to the upbeat "Party Weekend", this effort has it all!

if you want to have a good time and just feel good and enjoy the music then this is the collection for you from start to finish. you want to know how tight this set is? "don't let a woman" make a fool out of you" features the One and Only King of Music Michael Jackson giving a cold assit and that cut still hits. this is a happening collection.

This anthology contains 6 of the 11 songs from the album "Synapse Gap," released in 1982, and all 12 songs from the album, "Party Weekend," released in 1983. Both releases were on MCA. 18 songs from these two albums is a good thing; all 23 would have been better. Well, 22 of them anyway; "Person-Person" is no loss. The album is indeed a anthology, but I still feel shorted by the omissions from "Synapse Gap."

The sounds of Joe King haven't aged as well as other 1980s novelty outfits, but this hard-to-find disc is a great find for Texas ex-pats and other JK fans. Best bits: 'Tears Been A Fallin" and "Let's Go."
