"I first heard these guys on record at SUNY Brockport in 1966. I knew we had to get them to play live on campus. We booked them but at the last minute, the uptight college admin said we couldn't have them on campus. We hired out the old roller-rink and packed in at least 700 people. The Hot Nuts arrived in town in a big old shocking pink tour bus and literally rocked the joint. They alternated sets with the "humor songs" followed by a ballsy R&B horn band rockin set. People were impressed by their musicianship and polish for a supposed "blue" group. What a blast. These guys could party. The CD covers all of the songs they played in concert plus my favorite "Baby, let me bang your box" which came out a few years later. What memories this CD brings back! I wish I could see them live one more time! 5 big stars in my book."

"I first heard to the Hot Nuts (on a record) when I was in college some 35 years ago. I still find myself singing their songs and remembering the many laughs we all had listening to their "music." I was thrilled when I found this CD as the old record I had is long gone."
Cant wait to hear it again! CAn't believe I found it.

"I did not graduate from high school until 1969. I missed those college years. However, a cousin was an avid fan of the Hot Nuts....I grew up listening to them. Two old maids; Barnacle Bill....what memories!! I'm ordering today. Does anyone know where they are today? Anything about them? Please email me. Thx"
This is one GREAT CD.

"The Hot Nuts are a very good R&B band. I first got hooked on the 45 of "Baby Let Me Bang Your Box" and I've never looked back. This recording sounds remarkably well, considering the age and source of the tapes that were used to make this CD. I hope that more things are released by Doug Clark And The Hot Nuts."
Rates a 5+++!

"The Best of Doug Clark & the Hot Nuts CD is long overdue. It brought back many memories. It was a real hit when I played it last week at a reunion party for my fraternity buddies."
