<p>A lot of the songs remind me of Rockpile, which should come as no surprise considering who the producer is. I really don't consider this blues rock, though. It's more like a 50's R&R flashback album, hey, kinda like Rockpile. But rock is based in blues so maybe it is blues rock. But I don't think it is. </p>
<p>There's three songs I heard on the radio and/or MTV, #'s 1, 6 & 3. Song #1 was ok the first time I heard it, but then it got boring fast. The other two aren't that bad,…</p>

<p>There's three songs I heard on the radio and/or MTV, #'s 1, 6 & 3. Song #1 was ok the first time I heard it, but then it got boring fast. The other two aren't that bad, probably because they weren't played as much as #1.</p>
<p>All in all, this really isn't that bad of an album. It would make a nice companion piece to "Seconds Of Pleasure", but that album is so classic, it really doesn't need a companion piece.</p>
<p>Nice pick. Note that I wrote about 100x more in this post than you did for your BusBoys post. Just sayin'.</p> Tuff Enuff - its too soon, t…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2014-12-13:6060463:Comment:1117092014-12-13T00:52:07.398ZScotthttps://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/Scott

<li>Tuff Enuff - its too soon, the overplaying of this still hasn't worn off...</li>
<li>Tell Me - The song wants to know what I'm looking for, how about an interesting rocking song, don't you have SRV's bro in the band? And this is what we get? Yuck...</li>
<li>Look At That, Look at That - Must be nice cause you told me twice! This is 50'd rock-a-billy dressed up with minimal blues riffs. And the geetar solo from a Vaughn is highly disappointing. Gotta say, not for me.</li>

<li>Two Time My Lovin' - Vocally its not very interesting either. Actually his voice is kinda annoying. And another disappointing piece of geetar work. Hmmm....</li>

<p>Not sure a song by song review is worth it at this rate... This isn't blues, this is Louisiana Cajun backwood rock-a-billy and not very interesting at all. Why Get Up kinda summarizes this album, its fallen and why get up? No offense but its just not for me.</p>

<p>Best thing I can say is that it wasn't time wasted, certainly time well spent, but not wasted. Now a second listen would be time wasted.

<p>Like most everyone else, I remember the two hits. Have not heard the rest. It's not bad at all, but just not something I would spin a lot. Kind of like "rock-a-billy" to me, and that whole musical genre is kind of repetitious to me. This certainly has a much bigger blues element than most rock-a-billy, and that makes it better for me.</p>

<p>I also have never heard this album outside of the 2 radio hits. I never really liked either of those 2 songs to want to hear anymore from them. Found their videos annoying as well... But it wouldn't unprecedented for an album I didn't care about in the 80's turn out to be a fine listen in 2014.</p>
