| Come into the versatile universe of Mr. Rich Crook, well known amongst Garage-Punk lovers for his contribution for the REATARDS at an early age, AMERICAN DEATH RAY, LOST SOUNDS and lately busy in the KNAUGHTY KNIGHTS, together with his pal Jack Yarber. On this fine platter he takes us to a journey into his very own musical landscape with 10 straight and somehow particular songs. A rough and unpolished production sure reminds of the beloved Memphis Sound, but there's something different to it.
Listen to the great and raspy opener ''Everyone I want'' with that high pitched and melodic vocals, the crunchy guitars and that sunny ''ba ba ba'' part towards the end. Especially that untypical way of singing makes mid- to up-tempo garage songs like ''Bo Peep and Frank'', ''Possession'' or ''Red headed Monster'' sound like a combination of later OBLIVIANS, MARKED MEN and CHEAP TRICK. Then again, there's cool and genuine garage tunes like ''Tonight! She's dead", ''Gun in your face'' or ''Thoughts of a man'' with screaming, yet melodic and laid-back guitars and a steady beat, provided by Greg Roberson of REIGNING SOUNDS/AMERICAN DEATH RAY, as well as a subtle whiff of new wave punk. In the smoother ''Dewaynne'' and ''Pipe is too tight'' you get the full load of power-pop and some weepin' WIPERS guitars in the slower and surprisingly catchy ''Waiting on you''. No doubt about it, this record turns everyone into a LOVER! This vinyl version of the Empty Records CD is limited to 1000 copies!!
