This is rock 'n' roll, baby! This is all musical styles found in New York City played on all drugs available in New York City. Big city chaos, yes, but with a big city groove that never stops. The songs, with the help of an army of guest musicians, reach the psychotic refinement of Captain Beefheart while maintaining the raw power of labelmate Andre Williams. Which are also the two first names that come to mind when hearing singer Ron Ward. >From the straightforward grooves of 'I'm Addictive' to the psycho soul of 'Tappin My Neighbah!' and the drunken ballad 'December?', each and every song is sure to make you wish to leave the comfort of your suburbian home and head for the Big City to live the Wild Life. And next time even Jon Spencer might think twice before he shouts "Blues Explosion #1!".
