Music reviews of Land of Opportunity
Music Review: An all-time favorite
Rating: 5 Stars
If you're reading this review, chances are you've actually heard of this band, so I'm probably preaching to the choir. But if by some twist of fate you're reading this and you have no idea who or what E*I*E*I*O was, then let me simply tell you the following: in all of the 17 years since I first purchased this 1986 release, I've added hundreds of albums to my collection--but this is STILL one of my favorite discs of all time--and quite possibly the best record I bought in the 1980s. Hailing from somewhere in the upper Midwest (Wisconsin, I believe), EIEIO played heartland rock in the John Mellencamp / BoDeans / Bob Seger vein, but with a special flavor all their own--and they definitely rocked! "Land Of Opportunity" was the first of the two albums they released in their brief existence, and there's not a bad cut on it. The original vinyl release did not include the last two songs, so the CD is even better, particularly with the addition of "When The Stars Are Out and the Moon Is High." As an interesting footnote, T-Bone Burnett, who produced the BoDeans great first album ("Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams") in 1986 as well, guests on acoustic guitar on "Blue Mountaintop."Great lead vocals from Steve Summers, some excellent harmonies, literate lyrics and HOT guitar work from Mike Hoffman and Rob Harding--there are no weaknesses on this excellent record, which was co-produced by Steve Berlin of the Blasters. Although it's long been out of print, you can still find it used, and I urge you to do so. Essential '80s roots rock, with just a hint of the twang that would one day become "alt.country." Awesome.
