Hop The Wag... Possibly the Finest Jools Holland Album Yet
Richard Carter | Suffolk, UK | 01/29/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Here is one of the finest Jools Holland albums yet... a sumptuous blend of raw boogie, soulful ballads and witty jazz. The big band is on fine form, with Gilson Lavis performing a stunning drum solo on the very first track. Other notable moments are the jazz waltz, "June Rose Lane", the story of "Loutette" and the particularly exciting "Panic Attack". The album also features Jamiroqui and Sam Brown.If you're already even half interested in Jools Holland, this is an essential buy. If you have yet to witness the wonder of the Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, wait no longer. Buy it at once, and enjoy every minute of it."
