This Band is Red Hot is a great CD – a great round up of a great band. Fans will probably differ about what songs should have been put on the album [Feel a Whole Lot Better] and which ones should have been left off [Yesterday’s Numbers] but as a collection it does the job and as an introduction to the Flamin’ Groovies it’s the ticket.
Ex-singer Groovies Chris Wilson is also back with a new album, Second Life. Details can be found at http://www.flamin-groovy.com
