Pretty good, but not the Satelllites' best

And that's a shame, because there is some real feel-good rock n' roll here. The Georgia Satellites' debut album was a surprise hit, rising to the top 5 and spawning the Billboard #2 single "Keep Your Hands To Yourself", but this 1988 follow-up went largely uinnoticed, peaking at #77 before sinking like a stone. . . raw, gritty hard rock a la Stones, and highlighted by the sleazy boogie of "Mon Cheri", and a tremendous high-octane cover of Ringo Starr's "Don't Pass Me By".

But it must be said that "Open All Night" doesn't match the Satellites' debut album. . . most of the 11 songs are good, but too few of them are great. Dedicated Satellites fans will want it anyway, and it is certainly not a bad record, but more casual listeners will be much better served by the excellent career overview "Let It Rock - Best Of The Georgia Satellites".

3 1/4 stars for this one. Good enough, but not a necessary purchase when such a fine compilation is available.
