4.0 out of 5 stars Light Hearted Fun, August 3, 2003

Buster Poindexter is certainly long on personality. He even has a little bit of talent as well. If you are looking for a light hearted party record, this one will fit your bill. Hit The Road Jack, Who Put The Whiskey In The Well and International Playboy are my three faves on here but the rest is pretty charming if nothing else.

More of a novelty CD than anything else. However, it will give you a chuckle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Do you wanna go berserk?, January 9, 2006

Buster Poindexter was the lounge singer persona of former New York Doll David Johansen. He had a hit with "Hot Hot Hot", which isn't on this album. The best know song here is his cover version of Ray Charles' "Hit the Road, Jack", which was featured in that movie about escaped mental patients starring Michael Keaton. This is a decent album, but nothing spectacular. The whole album feels rather artificial, like the whole "Buster Poindexter" persona is a put-on(which it was).

Looking at Buster's hair I am reminded of the Brad Pitt movie "Johnny Suede". The music on this album is great but the limit of material makes me suspect that in was a rushed product in order to capitalize on the success of "Hot, Hot, Hot". The main thing that dates this album is the fact that it has musicians on it, which seem to be an endagered species in the age of sampling in order to steal the perfect beat.
There are a few downer songs on this album ("Poorest People") but it does have a good party vibe.
