The Dr's Fun Prescription,
By Brent Evans (Rockhampton, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bankrupt (Audio CD)
The first thing to know about the album "BANKRUPT" is that Dr Hook were bankrupt at the time.This was sort of a last ditch effort for the band; having ditched "And The Medicine Show" from their band name not long before.The funny vibe from the band's first albums is still present on BANKRUPT: witness LEVITATE,I GOT STONED(AND I MISSED IT), WUPS,EVERYBODY'S MAKING IT BIG BUT ME,THE MILLIONARE,EVERYBODY LOVES ME and DO DOWNS.Add to it the adlibs and wild laughter that are sprinkled throughout this release;I would've loved to be at the recording sessions!Adding to this is a general tightening in the music department and you have a mid seventies classic on your hands.I still love Dennis' version of ONLY SIXTEEN.Have a listen to fun Dr Hook in to era before they went "disco".

Superlative Hook,
By "zarmas" (Bristol, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bankrupt (Audio CD)
Ah, the days before the 70s disco atrocities, when Dr Hook were ballsy, brilliant and broke. This is a fantastic album full of humour, warmth, and rocking tunes. Don't let the Sexy Eyes syndrome get the better of you, put this on and realise what great band Dr Hook were.

Cookie and Lila and the Northern Lights,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bankrupt (Audio CD)
The first time I ever heard the song "Cookie and Lila" was at a bonfire in Northern Michigan under the Northern lights. For that reason I bought this album and if this were the only good song on this album,which it definitely is NOT, it would still be worth 100 times its price 'cause only Dr. Hook could do it best. Sometimes lack of funds leads to bringing out the good stuff!
