Just Good Old Entertainment
Doesn't pretend to be anything more and was intended to be a tribute to some of the greats. This is just good old fun listening to good old rock and roll. The video of this was fun to watch as some of it was in black and white for the effect. Huey Lewis seemed to have lots of fun doing this album and it comes through. Enjoy it without trying to analyze it.


Don't Listen & Drive unless you have Cruise Control
This is a great bluesy, rock and roll album that always makes me want to dance. Crank it up and rock on. Shake, Rattle, and Roll; just be careful when driving to watch the speedometer. .


HUEY'S HAVING SOME FUN
Harmonies are tight, music is tight, and they put a little different spin on these "Other People's Hits". I really enjoyed this offering from Huey Lewis and the News. By the way, if you have never seen Huey live in concert, you are definately missing a great show.


Nice lighthearted collection of tunes


This record is definitely a departure from the "classic" sound of Huey Lewis and News. Fans always have mixed feelings when their favorite artist takes a stab at another project that may be a little outside the norm. Matter of fact, Huey's raspy voice is really the only recognizable element that would make you ask your self, "What a minute, isn't that Huey Lewis?"

I don't remember exactly how this record joined my collection, but I suspect I purchased it while browsing countless material in used music shops in the mid to late 90's. I was never a huge Huey Lewis fan, I think I maybe owned "Sports" before this one, so the fact that I chose this over one of the band's more established pop records is a mystery to me.

It's a nice lighthearted collection of tunes, I enjoy "But It's Alright," "You Left the Water Running," and "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' but Trash. "

Shake, Rattle, and (Especially) Roll: A Lil' Bit More Than Decent My Friends
It blew my roots of rock socks off. I first heard this CD driving around the streets of Dubai, UAE, with a displaced American yearning for a taste of home.

I hated Huey and the gang growing up. Blek. Not good Pop; not even close to good rock. Indecisive. Here The News is: this is everything Rock and Roll couldn't be when it first got pumpin' in the 50s. Huey and the Comets take a good thing and make it great.

Do you throw Mary Tyler Moore parties? Put this CD on and for one entire CD, your party won't stop dancing. I love this album.

Alone on a desert island, I'll take this 4 Chords to make me happy and. . . a Tom Waits album to remind me that I'm. . . alone on a desert island.
