This review is from: Boot Power (Audio CD)
"Mungo Jerry" is not a one-hit wonder: it shows the ignorance of self-proclaimed musicologists and/or critics. The brilliance of the music cannot be measured by statistics only. Cheesburger or BigMac might be also the most consumed fastfood in the world, but it doesn't mean that it tastes best.
"Boot Power" is the fourth album of British heavies "Mungo Jerry" (released in 1972, and preceeded by 3 superb albums - debut "Mungo Jerry", "Electronically Tested"
Electronically Testedand "You Don't have to be in the army"
You Don't Have to Be in the Army. Ray Dorset again came with a string of excellent songs ("Lady Rose", "Dusty Road", "Open Up") ranging from foot-stomping music to hard rock.
Former members Colin Earl (piano) and Paul King (guitars, harp, banjo) were replaced by Tim Reeves and John Pope.
To me it's just another fireball of concentrated raw energy and honest to God rock.
Worth every cent.
Re-issued in Japan as a mini-LP (as shown on the image) in comes with a leaflet in Japanese (very handy) and lyrics - in English
