Review

As far as I know, this is the lone Clams recording. A wonderful chunk of Dolls/Stones-influenced tuneage (as if the record's title didn't give it away), this is powered by Cindy Lawson's no-bullsh*t singing, Roxie Terry's maximum Keith Richards riffing, and the thump and roll of bassist Patty Jansen and drummer Karen Cusak. It's probably impossible to find, but great records like this by great local and regional bands deserve mention if only someone with the wherewithal decides to re-release them. Anyone? ~ John Dougan, All Music Guide
