This recording is the only one by The Bobs to include Lori "Bob" Rivera (she's great!), and it's destined for cult classic status. Most of the songs have the signature humor of Richard "Bob" Greene, either alone or in collaboration with Joe "Bob" Finetti and others. Our favorites include "Hey Coach Don't Call Me a Queer," a primal scream at all those high school paramilitary dictators who took the fun out of sports. "Swingers" is a high energy vocal jazz tune about a carefree couple who love the easy life of Vegas. The doo-woppy "IsIt Something I Said?" tells the tale of a post office worker whose secret affair goes wrong with tragic consequences, while "Leisure Suit" uses a ‘70’s Bacharach lilt in the story of a guy who loves his lime green polyester outfit. The recording concludes with Joe's tribute to the Heaven's Gate cult, "The Gate," which (shockingly!) includes a simple piano accompaniment. The group's musical diversity and sophistication has never been better - like a fine wine, The Bobs just get better with time! (46:14 1997)
