This isn’t the typical New Orleans area band that I own music from.
This group busted in on the scene huge in the middle 90’s with the track “Good”
off of this album, and I gotta say, that track lives up to its name. Outside of
that though, there’s really not a whole lot to talk about on this album.
There’s several other solid tracks on the album, like “Southern Gurl”,
“Teenager”, and “Heaven”, but like I said, they’re nothing all that great. Not
to say that this is a bad album by any means, it’s just nothing I could really
say is anything special. From what I’ve heard of their later releases, those are
a little bit better, but this was an early release, and they have since been
able to get better. Out of 100, this one is given a 54.
