One of the few songs on the album written by Tom Scholz AND Brad Delp. With an indirect assist by ZZ Top, as Scholz always said this tune was heavily influenced by that boogie woogie Texas band.
Like the entire album, this song is a classic. Rest assured there will be several more tunes selected from this record on the list.
Gerald Broflovski’s jam
Agree with
@Pip's Invitation and
@zamboni - the eponymous debut album was a watershed moment in rock n roll history. Every song got AOR play.
When they first came on the scene - it was released the week we went back to school - they were a cultural phenomenon. It was so crisp and fresh, soaring vocals, great guitar riffs, near perfect production.
IDK how well it’s held up over the decades - familiarity breeds discontent, and no classic rock LP was more overplayed - but man alive was it fun, exciting,
life is good music.
This is hard to convey in today’s culture…but it’s the only album I remember this happening. I was at a show that fall (can’t remember) and in between the opener and the headliner they played this album as background filler. Halfway through the A side single to
Smokin’, the sound guys
cranked it up. The crowd let out a huge cheer & people broke out their stash and started firing up again (the normative thing was to wait until the lights were out before sharing a doobie.)
Kind of the ultimate feel good album of my youth.
