Fore Is A Hit

"Fore is another great record from the News. "Stuck With You" is a light and airy song build around a casual guitar riff that has a tropical sound to it. It became the band's second number one single. "Hip To Be Square" has a pulsating beat and perfectly plays on the band's average guy persona and spawned a popular catch phrase. "Doin' It All For My Baby" has gorgeous harmonization by the band and a Stax/Volt sound. "I Know What I Like" is a solid rocker as is "Forest For The Trees". "Jacob's Ladder" has a soaring melody and was written by Bruce Hornsby. The song became the second number one single from the album and third and final one of the band's career. "Naturally" is a wistful acapella number that gives the band a chance to show off their vocal chops. Top notch work and a real winner."
