Title: Doug would want it that way
Review: Doug Bennett was one of Canada's best talents. One of the first bands to successfully use video media, they were early pioneers on MTV. Tight vocals, excellent musicianship, multiple Juno award winners. What can I say? They rock.This is an early compilation comprising their first album Cognac and Bologna and their second, Wrap It. Cognac and Bologna has the clever lyrics of "Too Bad", "Chinatown Calculation". But "Wrap It" rocks. By this time, they had exposure and had matured into a finally honed group. Best tracks? "Real Enough", "Not on the Corner." They rock.I had a chance to see this band several times in the 80's in clubs in Seattle. They never failed to entertain.Doug Bennett passed away in October, 2004. The Slugs persist, yeah sadly, under a different name. Listen to one of Canada's best exports and you will not be sorry.
