5.0 out of 5 stars If you're an NRBQ fan buy it,listen at least three times..., October 20, 1999

Ah yes...the tacky cover art...a studio release...does it measure up? Definitely. "Ain't No Horse" should replace "I believe I can fly" in every school in the US: "Ain't no sea can't be crossed, ain't no ship can't be lost"..."Housekeeping" will instantly appeal to any traveller with an 'off' schedule..."Breakaway..." is every dreamers anthem. Of course there's the usual annoying track that seems insurmountable..I'm still skipping "CM Pups". Then again, I initially hated "Immortal" on Wild Weekend. No accounting for taste...;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars NRBQ does it again., October 2, 1999

This review is from: NRBQ (Audio CD)

I bought this CD and have been playing it over and over again. It's so funny because most CD's I buy just don't warrent this much attention. But these songs and their attitude behind them just make me have to listen to them. That has always been the NRBQ magic. I miss the three songwriter, singer format they had with Big Al, but I love Johnny's more subtle tasty guitar licks. "Take Me to Your Secret", "Puddin Truck" "Blame it on the World" "Breakaway to My Dreams" "Housekeeping" , the whole album just screams greatness. NRBQ is an experience, not just another boring contrived CD. Go expose yourself to this great band.

This best captures the current sound and lineup of today's NRBQ, a band with a looooong history. Songs like "Blame It On the World" and "Sail On, Sail On" contain exquisite hooks and show why these guys are some of music's best songwriters, even without the great writer Al Anderson on guitar. There's the usual crazy humor. Who else could write songs about hotel housekeeping and termites and make them hummable, besides being great? One or two tunes go over the top: "I Want My Mama." But they're just Terry being Terry. This guy is a fab musician who could keep up with Thelonious Monk if he had wanted to. Fill out your Q collection with this overlooked little gem.
