[CRAZY-HORSE]

JO JO ZEP & THE FALCONS "im in a dancing mood:the best of" cd, 2007.

i remember these guys from the early 1980s...an Aussie outfit.
think i only have one of their singles on 7"vinyl and thats about it so i had to get this when it came out...unfortunately though, they are not as good as i remembered them to be, lead vocalist Joe Camilleri ended up the main man behind Black Sorrows in the mid 1980s and beyond...
this one is full of funk/pop fusion, blues rock and touches of calypso/reggae in places...
not bad overall but nothing great neither, worst track has to be the abysmal Bacharach cover 'walk on by'...it just doesnt fit with the rest of their singles...
