Title: Perfect Latter Day 'Q
Review: This best captures the current sound and lineup of today's NRBQ, a band with a looooong history. Songs like "Blame It On the World" and "Sail On, Sail On" contain exquisite hooks and show why these guys are some of music's best songwriters, even without the great writer Al Anderson on guitar. There's the usual crazy humor. Who else could write songs about hotel housekeeping and termites and make them hummable, besides being great? One or two tunes go over the top: "I Want My Mama." But they're just Terry being Terry. This guy is a fab musician who could keep up with Thelonious Monk if he had wanted to. Fill out your Q collection with this overlooked little gem.
