THE SKELETONS "Waiting" 1992

The third album from bar-band par excellence the Skeletons finds their retro sound tapping into everything from R&B to frat rock.

This band is outstanding! The music is funny, has a beautiful 60's backbeat and has infulences from all over the Rock/Country/Punk spectrum! "St. Louis" is a fantasic remake of the Blues Classic, "Waiting for my Gin to Hit Me" is a strange blend of monotone country and wild psychedelic's! "Hardware" is a Demented techno song, and "Rainy Day Parade" will have you dancing and spinning! Just amazing! I just wish they were still touring! This one and their first LP are a must have in any real music lovers collection! (also check out "In The Flesh", the Skeletons first Lp, and "The Morells SHAKE AND PUSH") The Morells are the first incarnation of the Skeletons... They play a song called "REDS", Reds was a Rt.66 drive-in hamburger stand, it is in all the Rt.66 Books... Famous for their "Giant Hamburg"... The Morells/Skeletons really honor this now defunct business! - By "kyms66" (Chicago, IL United States)
