i confess

1981- the year of the rooster - out popped this baby.

this is the second release from the english beat and an album that gets heavy rotation via my technics dc servo turntable. this band boasts a collection of influential musicians from ska, soul, pop, reggae and punk variations. (must be what makes them so f'in great!)
It's a wonder to me why this band never got so big in the usa or why more people don't own this album- maybe its because they only ever came out with three albums? but all i know is that it shouldn't be that way.
if you haven't checked out this band and/or this album, i suggest you get on that. be prepared for the perfect blend of horns and vocals you've ever heard. i can't say enough good things about this album, in that case, any of their albums. a perfect companion to a night at home with friends or your sunday soundtrack folding socks.
