5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Hook. One of the most underated bands of the seventies!, October 10, 2001

By	Kristyn Warner (Cadillac, Mi.) - See all my reviews

This album is one of the great ones and it is just ashame that this awesome band didn't get the recognition in the seventies when they deserved it. This album gives you alittle bit of everything. Just when you are all relaxed listening to "Sylvia's Mother", it comes out and hits you with the comical and feel good song "Cover of the rolling stone", and you even get alittle of that great disco sound from my personal favorite "Sexy Eyes" and "When your in love with a beautiful woman", I couldn't end this review without mentioning the extremely sexy "Sharing the night together". I just hope that Dr. Hook themself shop at amazon and see that there are true fans out there like me who appreciate their music. Buy this album!!!! You will not be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Hook is awesome, August 16, 1999

By A Customer

I know very little about Dr. Hook. My friend made me listen to one of his songs a couple of years ago and I thought it was pretty good. Then this summer they were coming to Edmonton and for some reason she had an extra ticket and she gave it to me. I went knowing two songs (Cover of the Rolling Stone and You make my Pants Want to Get Up and Dance) but I had a great time at the concert and now love Dr. Hook's music. Although I'm too young to be a typical listener to this music (I'm 19), there were more young people at this concert than there were people who were around when this music was first released. That proves that this band has some serious staying power.

4.0 out of 5 stars Versatile band; Something for everyone, April 20, 2001

By A Customer

I'd forgotten all about Dr. Hook, to tell the truth, until looking around for something by another 70's band. Then I saw this and started reading the track titles, and so many memories just started coming back. The band shows something for everyone. For the raunchier side, with somewhat sarcastic songs like "Cover of Rolling Stone," what-was-I-thinking songs like "Only Sixteen," lush love songs like "A Little Bit More," and my favorite,the funky disco feeling tracks like "Sexy Eyes," and "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman." And the best part is, these songs all seem true-to-heart. You feel like you could actually get somewhere with a girl by singing "Sharing The Night Together.' A very pleasant musical treat. Spend 40 minutes going back to the 70s with this CD. You won't regret it, and may also wind up hoping your picture's on the cover of Rolling Stone.
