YOUR ROOTS ARE SHOWING,
By Jukebox Dave (RECORD TOWN, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Covered By Geils (Audio CD)
THE J. GEILS BAND-COVERED BY GEILS: Damned few white bands outside of Rare Earth or Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels were capable of tackling gritty, good-time soul chestnuts and making them their very own. But Boston's RNB jaugernaut The J. Geils Band cut their teeth on "too cool" covers such as The Contours' take on Smokey Robinson's FIRST I LOOK AT THE PURSE, Bobby Womack's LOOKIN' FOR A LOVE, The Showstoppers' HOUSE PARTY, and I DO by The Marvelows. Admit it...you always thought Geils originated ALL those cool classics (so did I). Only The Supremes' bouncy WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO was a bona-fide smash BEFORE wailer/song impaler Peter Wolf and company unleashed their equally stylish rendition. Although they eventually succumbed to the more mainstream pop of LOVE STINKS and CENTERFOLD, for most of their existence J. Geils' blues-ology vibe was never in question. Albert Collins?...Don Covay?...Stax?...a truck drivin' tune?...not a problem for this sanctifyin' sextet. COVERED BY GEILS is a hip trip without a skip or a blip!
RATING: FIVE WOOFA GOOFA'S

Who would put together such a inconcise compilation? Surely the Geils band didn't approve of this!
