Title: PEEK-A-BOO!
Review: I love NRBQ for their sense of humor, their refusal to be pigeonholed within a specific genre, and most of all for their extraordinary musicianship. I've seen them play twice and I can tell you they are a GREAT live act. Along the way, they've also happened to record some terrific tracks. Some of the highlights from their first 20 years are collected on PEEK-A-BOO. Personally, I would have chosen the version of "Get Rhythm" from GROOVES IN ORBIT and "It Comes To Me Naturally" from DIGGIN' UNCLE Q (both of which kick up a real storm) but that's a minor complaint. As an overall view of NRBQ's career, it's a terrific collection. All the "favorites" are here (eg.- "Me And The Boys", "I Got A Rocket In My Pocket", "Riding In My Car", and others) and every one of their albums up to that point is represented as far as I can tell. I have them all on vinyl, but PEEK-A-BOO is just the thing when I need a quick fix of the only group I've ever felt comfortable calling "my favorite band".
