Damn Right!

Product Information

Lee Brilleaux (singer and harmonica) provides the focus and carries it pretty well with the sort of grubby charisma that comes with honest sweaty graft.

Since early 2020 Josh has been entertaining us with exclusive monthly live sessions, streamed via Facebook. There’s a lot to like. It’s immediate. A Feelgood hallmark, right there. On first spin, the album bristles with Russell’s sharp and wiry, sometimes low and dirty guitar riffs, driven everywhere by Kevin Morris’s insistent, snapping snare. Phil Mitchell is right on the money in the rhythm department and Kane, with just a hint of reverb, nails the vocals. Nevertheless that tribute accusation can’t have been helped by a few too many releases of covers, collections, reworks and live material. The most recent album of predominantly newly recorded original material was Brilleaux’s last album, ‘The Feelgood Factor’ in 1993.Great introduction to a new band. And after this, I may find myself listening to only live stuff from Dr. Feelgood.

Their scrappy underdog charm was never going to compete with the big guns and the US and Canada already had plenty bands doing the same sort of thing in the likes of George Thorogood and the early careers of J Geils (and I presume loads of folks that never made it into UK airwaves). The chart position may sound unlikely from this distance, but The Feelgoods were creating havoc on a nightly basis, and won acres of coverage in the influential music press. And by the time Stupidity topped the charts, the music scene had been shaken up by the emergence of punk. Kotiinkuljetuksesta perimme rahulia 3,99€ pienemmistä lähetyksistä (lähinnä cd:t) ja isoimmista vermeistä eli vinyyleistä, huppareista yms 5,99€.Iain Macaulay: Shortest review yet. F’n barnstormer of an album. Worth it for Roxette alone. Just listen to it. Thank you. Damn Right! was recorded in Southend and reunited the group with world-renowned bassist Dave Bronze in his other role as producer. He knows the band better than most, having been a big part of the Dr . Feelgood story in the early 1990s.

Comprised of recordings taken from 1975 tours, the live Stupidity finally captures the relentless, hard-driving energy of Dr. Feelgood at their peak. All the music on Stupidity is presented raw and without overdubs, making it clear that the dynamic friction between guitarist Wilko Johnson and vocalist Lee Brilleaux could propel the band toward greatness." ( AllMusic) Johnson is not however a soloing bluesman like Rory Gallagher or Robin Trower, which means that the songs and the vocals are the draw rather than the guitar hero. The album’s first single, ‘Mary Ann’, is a product of Robert & Gordon. Robert explains “She’s a fictional character who Gordon came up with when he first put the music together. I decided to turn her into a spoiled kid and the rest of the words soon followed.” The digital-only single is out Sept 30 – Read Here From 2 January we’ll be featuring significant albums reviewed 2003-2023 in our featured album sequences as part of GRTR!@20 Other standouts are I’m a Hog for You Baby, Johnny B. Goode, and the great show closer Milk And Alcohol. Basically, you have an album that you could crank at a party and it’s got that rhythm and vibe that pulls people in right away.

Wilko gave it one more album after this before going solo and Brilleaux took the band closer to the limelight with Milk & Alcohol from the album Private Practice (1978). He also helped fund Stiff Records, which was part of the post punk new wave sound in the UK.
