Baker, Tom -& The Snakes-
Lookout Tower
For Fans of Rock N Roll, Glam, Bubblegum, Garage, and everything in between... You cant quite place the band in this memory, but there were elements of the Stones in there; echoes of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It had the snarl and the slide of the Replacements; but then again, raised a pint to Steve Marriott. Sit up, kick aside the empty beer cans on the floor, and flip the record. Discover that its Tom Baker and the Snakes. "Lookout Tower", the latest from Tom Baker and the Snakes, is an undeniable album of red, white, and blue rock and roll. Songs like "Bad Change", "Waitin For Nuthin", and the thundering lead single "Make it Hurt" are straight up Rock and Roll 101 -- the basics; the way it was meant to be. The Stanley Cup-winning "Doll Eyes", along with "Needle in the Red" will have you pushing rewind over and over -- but the good news is that this isnt a cassette and you cant wear it out the way you used to. "Satisfied Fool" grooves -- just listen to those three (three?!?!) guitars -- they sing.
