5.0 out of 5 stars His best, May 18, 2008

By	Sid V "Sid" (Bayside, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Can't believe no one review this. "Guts for Love" was pretty good and got 3 4 star reviews last I checked. To me, this is far better. With GE smith, Graham Parker's the Rumor, and the Brecker brother among others, make this a great CD.

Get your hands on anything this guy has done. A classic album that takes great songs and evolves them wonderfully and soulfully.

5.0 out of 5 stars R.O.C.K. nuff said!, January 17, 2010

I have owned this title since it was released in Album form back in 1981. As a matter of fact, the album came with an EP that contained Lover's Walk, Christine (live version), Miami Beach, We The People. R.O.C.K. blasted through many a tape-deck (we had to tape our albums) speakers from mine and my friends high school driven used cars during Weekend nights! This paired with the Ramones was a feast for the ears. Escape Artist was, and still is, an AWESOME work. I have the prior works of Jeffrey's on album as well. If you haven't collected his works, do it! As for the CD, another version was released well prior to the posted 2007 CD release date. I own that version. Christine, 96 Tears (remake), R.O.C.K, and Jump Jump...you can't go wrong.
