5.0 out of 5 stars The REAL News can be found in this alblum, May 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Huey Lewis & The News (Audio CD)

Huey and the boys should be in the Hall of Fame (Cleveland, are you listening?), and this raw, harmony-filled alblum showcases their unique sound better than anything else I've heard (yes, even "Sports"). I have all their alblums -- both on vinyl and CDs -- and, as a Bay Area son who watched them move like the Temptations while ringing out the tunes from this debut, trust me on this one: it doesn't get better than this. "Some of My Lies Are True" is the first song I ever heard on the radio by this group and I immediately fell in love with its hip sound. The song "Hearts" is one of their best ever. If you're a Huey fan who started tuning in with "Do You Believe in Love," you have no idea what you're missing by not having this alblum in your collection. What's great about this self-titled work is it still sounds of fresh today... How many artists or alblums can you say that about?

5.0 out of 5 stars Short, sweet and full o' meat!, December 26, 2001

This review is from: Huey Lewis & The News (Audio CD)

Forget all the silly, over-produced MTV videos and the played-to-death hits from the super-slick "Sports" album. This straight-ahead collection of infectious 3-minute pub-rock and power-pop gems represents everything that was good about the early "New Wave" scene. Huey Lewis & The News debut has a loose, "live" feel that captures the spirit of the days when they were one of the most popular (and hardest working) bar bands in the Bay Area. Huey's previous British connections (through his work with the band Clover) paid off handsomely, as Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds give some production help on this album (by the way-that's Huey's harmonica solo on Dave Edumunds' original version of "Bad Is Bad", which the News covered some years later!). It would be interesting to find out some day why this has been inexplicably unavailable as a domestic U.S. CD release...especially given the commercial success of this band. For a prime example of "true" New Wave (before the marketing boys and record execs got hold of it) give this one a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best News, July 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Huey Lewis & The News (Audio CD)

Had to add my two cents here, Huey & the News produced a lot of memorable pop records but it is this one, the first one, that is the genuine classic. A great mix of new wave and r&b and it rocks.
