Reviews
The album is a mix of originals and covers. The originals include the title track, the tasty slide guitar on 'Dancin' The Night Away' and 'Tarzan's Birthday' - not a very good tune to be honest. The covers include 'Kiss You All Over' (written by 70's hitmakers Chinn and Chapman), a very enjoyable version of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'. Oh and their most well known hit 'Sugar Baby Love', is on here as well and I am pleased to report the dog bothering high pitched vocals still sound as good.
One for the band's fans and lovers of rock 'n' roll.
