Title: Tepid Boogaloo Joe
Product review: The way to go with Boogaloo Joe is to buy the Legends of Acid Jazz Vol. 1 compilation. That stuff is smokin'. This one has its moments, but is uniformly less fun than the Legends compilation. Some of the cover versions of then/formerly-popular songs are dangerously close to elevator music (especially "He's So Fine" & "My Love"). Also, a couple of the slow ones get way too slow for this kind of thing. "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," a great (& slow) Roberta Flack song, seems interminable. Don't be fooled by the album & song titles, which look a whole lot cooler than it sounds.
