Finally Hooked

"I was only familiar with the later Dr. Hook output for the longest while and never considered myself a fan. I started watching this hilarious public access show here in New York called Ms. Divine's Tee Hee Heure. During the opening credits I kept hearing these insane tunes that caught my ear. Each time I waited to find out who the artist was, it turned out to be Dr. Hook. I soon started tracking down as much of their early stuff that I could find. I was thrilled to learn that 3 albums from the old days were being compiled together in one release. Outstanding, naughty fun that has aged suprisiingly well."
Classic Dr. Hook at their best!

"Finally the first three albums of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show are available on CD! I can fully recommend them to anyone interested in great music, perfect showmanship and witty, satirical lyrics. On these albums from Dr. Hook's pre-disco period most songs were written by songwriter extraordinaire Shel Silverstein. Dr. Hook were the perfect artists to perform his songs. The spectrum ranges from melancholic ballads (Mama I'll sing one song for you, The Last Morning), hilarious drug songs (Makin it natural, Get my rocks off) to pure parody (Sylvia's Mother, The Cover of Rolling Stone, Roland the Roadie and Gertrude the Groupie). Anyone who is not familiar with those songs should take the chance. The songs were rendered with feeling, emotion and a lot of fun. Dr. Hook still had some success later on with their lightweight disco songs, but if you are looking for authentic entertainment, go for this package. In my opinion, they never got any better! An absolute must for all fans and highly recommended for everyone who loves great music and entertainment."
