THANKS TO JOHN TOBLER AND THE WONDERFUL FOLK @ ROAD GOES ON FOREVER RECORDS THIS HAS NOW BEEN REISSUED. AND WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB THEY DID ON THE REISSUE! ADDITIONAL TRACKS INCLUDE THE "BUNKER TAPES" AND AN ADDED BONUS OF "TULANE". STEVE GIBBONS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST IN ROCK N ROLL. HE'S ONE HIP AND SAVVY PERFORMER, AND IT SHOWS IN HIS MUSIC, ESPECIALLY THE LYRICS. HE CAN BE LIKE EDDIE COCHRAN IN "EDDY VORTEX" OR LIKE BOB DYLAN IN "GRACE" OR "BIG JC", AND ALL DONE WITH A SLICK SENSE OF HUMOUR. HOW ELSE COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE SONG "NO SPITTIN ON THE BUS"? IF ANYONE EVER FIGURES OUT WHAT "DOWN IN THE BUNKER" REALLY MEANS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. IN THE MEANTIME, PLAY THIS LOUD AND ENJOY. STEVE'S ONE COOL DUDE, AND THIS IS HIS BEST!

5.0 out of 5 stars Career Highlight, November 5, 2003

This was the first Steve Gibbons album I ever heard, and now that I've heard quite a few others, I can tell you that none of the rest come close to this one. Although it's solid from start to finish, the highlight is clearly the title track, "Down In The Bunker". The imagery mixes "bunker" as used in military terms with the golf version of the word. Somehow in the midst of this strange world halfway between a golf round and a wartime battle, a nude woman appears in the bunker to tempt our hero. While all of this is going on, ultra-tasty guitar leads fill the gaps between vocal lines, very much in the style of Dire Straits' "Sultans Of Swing". It's a great song, highly recommended especially for Mark Knopfler fans. If you like Gibbons but don't have this album, then absolutely, you must get it. If you're curious about Gibbons, this is the best pleace to start.

Gems are not always known - they may shine in the backroom only, ready to be re-discovered.

If you love straigh-forward, honest bluesy Rock n'Roo, this one is for you. Steve Gibbob's voice is one of the rare ones - once heard - never forgotten.

Why, for heavens' sake, did he never make it "big"????
