One of the most dismissed artists ever... (lp)...


Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show  "Doctor Hook"

Yes! I've been a fan of this lp since I was in high school. Now that I'm more musically knowledgeable??..I still find it to be a great lp. Why? Because of the songwriting. Because of the interpretation of these songs. Because it is just fantastic!

To dismiss this lp on the sole issue that it may seem like an "act" or a "fluke", would be to deny yourself of musical prowess/songwriting genius!

Maybe not  "ever"? .....

I recently decided to clean, then listen to Jet "Get Born". (2003), wow, already?

I purchased it when it came out just because of the radio airplay. I put it away. Until yesterday...

I find it to be a gem in several ways.

(1) Reminders of Black Crowes, Rolling Stones are present
(2) The song writing is not noticed until one goes DEEP into listening to this lp.
(3) The sonics are very respectable.
 Even the last song on side two, which would normally be the least desirable song,.... "Timothy" is well worth a listen.

Cheers!
