What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my son-in-law (cd)



Fourth album from the Buddy Holly boys. That first one is the only one I own. Son-in-law is a big fan, so jumping into his collection. I've also heard Raditude which I like quite a bit. This one, not as muchm although a couple of tracks stand out for me, Slob and December. Unfortunately there were four tracks that were a turn off. Still end up with a passing grade here, just not as good as the other two I mentioned. This one is a lot heavier than the debut. Not having heard the second and third albums, not sure if that was a progression or a sudden diversion in their sound. The album did very well here hitting #3 on the charts, with a #16 in the U.K. Singles were Dope Nose and Keep Fishin' which both hit the Modern Rock charts.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Space Rock

Best Track - December

Only love, can ease the pain
Of a boy caught in the rain.
Only hope will remember
Burning flame in December.

Only love.
Only love.

Only faith can bring to life,
One who falls by the wayside.
Only trust can inspire,
Soggy lungs to breath fire.

Only love,
Only love.

It's only natural
The moon is just half full.
We give our best away
We give our best away.

Only love.

Only trust can inspire
Soggy lungs to breath fire.

Only love,
Only love.
Only love,
Only love.
