Nothing like a little fish head music when you're in the mood.

Deep In My Voodoo - and at a deal too good to pass up!

"I've never seen the Radiators (not yet at least!), so I can't compare these songs to the performances they must be capable of, but I've gone wild over their latest (1/2004) live recording - Earth vs the Radiators. Quickly I bought some of the recommended studio releases (all at cheap prices, but this one for only pennies, an amazing deal!). And while none of the studio work comes close to showing the virtuostic playing and playful energy of the live recording, this one has grown to be my favorite (Law of the Fishes (1987) is okay, solid 80's pop/rock songs, but not indispensable, New Dark Ages (1995) is good, but this self titled one (2001) has a few really good songs - Deep in My Voodoo, I Don't Speak Love, Salty Jane, Crazy Mona - as well as a strong showing of mostly ordinary, if slighty twisted, finely crafted pop songs. Like a mix of Little Feat and Springsteen these guys have an all American sound.



Having been around for 25 years it seems they just keep getting better (bigger, richer, fuller sound).

Solid outing from New Orleans' legends

"These guys have been at it for over two decades and may have the most extensive active repertoire of any touring band. Their trademark sound is evident here, with a little extra studio polish. If you need a frame of reference, think Little Feat/Meters rhythm section, Professor Longhair/Dr. John keyboards, Allman Bros/ZZ Top guitars and lots of New Orleans gumbo. Check it out, and don't miss them live."
