My "ex" just loved Dr Hook (and of course I loved her), I was and am an audiophile, she was and is not, but, bless her heart, she’s the reason I currently listen to music through lovely Vandersteen 5A speakers. If she had not pushed me to spend the cash I would still have my Snell CIV’s, which I do still have, but in a closet somewhere, and little comparison. I also once she left bought an integrated with tone controls, and wonder why I never had this flexibility in the past. Many discs I turn down the high end just a tad, turn up the low end just a tad, and then smile, smile smile. So, high-end manufacturers, just put tone controls, either simple or complicated ones, and have them defeat-able, so purist approve, Well worth it, and soooooo necessary for soooooo many recordings.
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!
