Fantomassays...Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
Their early work was a little too New Wave for my taste. But then Sports came out in 1983, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that gives the songs a big boost.
He's been compared to Elvis Costello but I think Huey has a more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
Then in 1987 Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think I heir undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square," a song so catchy that most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of
trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.
SuperChikansays...Hey Paul!
