 (2 Customer Reviews)
All songs written or co-written by Rod Price except "Feel So Bad" (Willis) and "Couldn't Make Her Stay" (Peverett).
Foghat's second album finds the group working its way towards the fusion of blues and hard rock that would make them an arena rock favorite. They were not yet the stadium kings they would soon become, but Rock and Roll benefits from a muscular production that gives the band a muscular sound worthy of their impressive live act. A good example is the powerful album opener "Ride, Ride, Ride": Lonesome Dave Peverett wails over a boogie beat fortified by rumbling power chords as gospel-style backup vocalists cheer him on at the chorus. "Road Fever" is another choice rocker, a song about the rock & roll touring life (a recurrent Foghat song subject) that spices up its fuzz guitar rock with a rubbery bassline and a attractive but non-intrusive horn section. However, not everything on Rock and Roll is as inspired as these two tracks: songs like "Feel So Bad" and "She's Gone" succumb to cliché boogie-rock lyrics that are as dull as their titles and plodding song structures that lack hooks and inventive arrangements. Despite this occasional lack of inspiration, the band manages to pull off a few surprises here and there that show they were looking forward: "Helping Hand" crossbreeds the band's boogie sound with acoustic country-rock touches to create a tune that sounds like the Eagles on steroids, and the power ballad "It's Too Late" succeeds despite its cliché lost-love lyrics, thanks to a sharp arrangement that shows off the sharp guitar interplay between Peverett and Rod Price. All in all, Rock and Roll lacks the consistent material to win over casual rock fans, but any Foghat enthusiast will find plenty to enjoy on this disc. ~ Donald A. Guarisco

Grand Funk Railroad's 1970 somewhat eponymous album, their second for Capitol, is characteristic of the classic rock radio sound that would permeate the airwaves of the late 20th century. Grand Funk Railroad was a seminal force in giving the friendlier side of the heavy rock sound its charm and making it stick. Built on fuzzed-out blues riffs, simple lyrics, and at times seemingly unnecessary jamming, Grand Funk's songs are mild in nature. Far less extreme than Black Sabbath, but slightly toothier than Foghat or Bad Company, Grand Funk's major influence is from the loose, blues-based power trio formula of bands such as Cream ...

By the point Hell settled down in New York City to produce what would become his NY Muscle album, he'd pretty much done it all. He'd been DJing for two decades, having long ago arisen to "superstar" status; he'd produced a legion of tracks of various sorts for various labels, beginning back in the early '90s when techno was first overtaking his native Germany; he'd released numerous albums, both DJ mix and production ones; and he'd founded one of Germany's (and, by extension, the world's) premier electro-techno labels, International Deejay Gigolo Records, the home of such marquee talent as Tiga, Miss Kittin & the Hacker, and Fischerspooner, to just name a few of the more commercially successful artists he'd released recently. So when it came time for Hell to produce NY Muscle, his first studio album in a long while, he did so with great ambition, not content with just releasing a run-of-the-mill slab of dance music. He not only moved to New York City for about a half-year, he also collaborated with a number of colorful artists, most notably Alan Vega (of Suicide), Erlend Oye (of the Kings of Convenience), James Murphy (of the DFA), and Billie Ray Martin (a German techno diva of a myriad one-off collabos). The resulting album is across the board, in a good way, with essentially every track distinct and interesting. NY Muscle is the sort of album where you're continually (and pleasantly) surprised from one track to the next as it veers to and fro, never settling into a complacent groove for more than a track or two at a time. Hell sticks with his forte ...

WHO IS SINISTER QUIN?...Quin was born in South Central, Los Angeles, the youngest of 3 children, and raised by his mom. It was his mom's job to discipline and teach him values that would help him survive out on the streets. His father had left when he was young. His story is typical of most single parent families living in this area. Life was tough and he had to survive on the streets.His grandmother played a major role in helping him become who he is today. As a young boy words played an important role in his life. From his mother teaching him not to use words he didn't know the meaning of, to his grandmother having serious talks with him about not becoming physical. She would say "you don't have to put your hands on people, just whoop them with your pen". At the time he asked himself 'how do you whoop them with a pen?" Even as a youngster, Quin had a passion for expressing himself, both through drawing and writing. Through his thirst for knowledge and the quest to self educate he was able to develop his skill for writing. He soon realized that he could influence and inspire people through his words. However, he was still unclear how he could use his pen as a weapon?He started rapping to artists like "Sugar Hill Gang" (Rappers Delight). He would learn the songs then rap along with the artist. After a while he started making up his own lyrics. No rule just rhyme ! Often stuck for many hours in L.A. traffic with no radio (because somebody had stolen it), he became pretty good at free styling. Being raised on the streets of LA gave Quin plenty of material ...
