Negative Positive
Title: Highly Independent, Highly Funky
Review: Based out of Portland, Oregon, the Crazy 8's were one of the most popular bands in the Northwest and on the West Coast college circuit in the 80's & early 90's. This CD, released in 1990, was their fifth independent release, following three studio albums and the tremendous two-disc live CD, "Big Live Nut Pack" (1988). "Doggapotamus World" represents the band's most accomplished studio work and received rave reviews at the time. Tracks range from funky, horn-driven jams like "Bootyopolis" to reggee-influenced political commentary on "Campaign Trail." The styles are vast, the attitude is loose, and the messages cover everything from AIDS and unemployed vets to eternal mysteries like "work or beer?". Ambitious, talented, and highly independent. Get it while you can.
