All hail Pub Rock!! This 2nd offering from Ms. Mcqueen gets it done for fans and beginners alike. The band reverently cranks it out as if it's 1974 and you're standing at the bar at Dingwall's while La Liz spreads her laconic vocals over everything like honey on a waffle, tasty and sweet! Graded from 5 to 4 stars for lack of originals (get a copy of her other disc The Fresh Up Club for those). Grab a flagon of ale, turn it up, and sing along (not too out of key, please!)............

Don't be fooled by that deceptive cover shot of a nerdadelic Liz prancing around like a Method-spanker from TEENAGE ENEMA NURSES IN BONDAGE. Liz is a seasoned pro who warmed up for this record by essaying the role of Sieglinde during last year's Wagnerwankerung at Bayreuth. (I vas dere, Chahlie.) My fave track is their rendition of Graham Parker's LOCAL GIRLS. Andrew Nafziger's wah-wah pedal was a butt-scrumptious touch.

I enjoyed this album very much and I am certain you will too, especially if you enjoy Asleep At The Wheel and the work that Elizabeth McQueen has done with them in recent years as their female vocalist.

I had never really heard of pub rock until this album-but now I'm a fan! Powerful vocals and a tight band combine here to make a great little album.
