The best in southern rock Yeah yeah , all the other WW cds are good,but if you want . . kicking friedsouthern boogie then this is it ! The whole Hall family is on it and it rocks from track 1 all the way through. "Momma didn`t raise no fool" is too cool , she`s my lady ,dixie rock are also great, but "I`m a poor judge of character" is as good as it gets ! No other ww cds compares to this one. Its they`re best w/out a doubt ! Try it out !!. This Willie is only Damp... This is pretty much a sprawling mess, with the title song, "Leona" (great ersatz Stones riffin) and "She's My Lady" about the only things worthwhile here. This album continued the decline that began with "Keep On Smilin", ironically their commercial breakthrough. The rest of this album seems to be going for some Southern back porch gospel/blues thing which Wet Willie just aren't up to. Worse yet, pretty awful female background vocals on many of the tunes. Oh, Willie how ye lost yer way! This group released two amazingly good albums; "Wet Willie II" and "Drippin Wet". Then they inexplicably lost their minds and never recovered. I would pass on this.
