J. Geils Band - "Nightmares... and other tales from the vinyl jungle" (1974) - Atlantic Records
Hello Friends,
Jamming out to the J. Geils Band sixth record (in four years), 1974's "Nightmares... (and other tales from the vinyl jungle)".
We're also lamenting the death of band's founder, namesake & lead guitarist, Mr. J. Geils, who passed away in his Groton, Mass home last month at the ripe old age of 71. RIP J!
The big hit here on this record is the FM radio staple, "Must of Got Lost", but the rest of the record is pretty okay as well.
"Detroit Breakdown" is a solid opener and became a decent live staple. "Givin' It All Up" is our favorite album track. Outstanding. The trippy "Nightmares" and the super-funky "Funky Judge" are just meh.
Also, we wonder if the song "Stoop Down # 39" is a dig or a tribute to The James Gang's "Funk # 49"? hmm?
