Record Review Week: One Line Record Reviews, Part II


Guster, Ganging Up On The Sun: A band moving beyond the hippy drum circles and embracing their inner pop star.

James Brown, In The Jungle Groove: My God, you can actually smell this music it’s so funky!

John Prine, Bruised Orange: Your bitter uncle serenading his daughter with an acoustic six string after downing a bottle of Jack Daniels.

The Kinks, Low Budget: The Kinks finally breaking through to American audiences and with the fabulous title track catapults them into the arenas.

The Monkees, Headquarters: Come on, they were good!

The Psychedelic Furs, Talk Talk Talk: One of the best albums of the 1980’s and before John Hughes got a hold of them and ruined their career.

Others would say that Low Budget was when the Kinks let the Devil (a.k.a. Clive Davis) steal their souls in return for belatedly getting their piece of the British Invasion. Too little, too late...
