Music reviews of Heat in the Street
Music Review: Classic late '70s metal-boogie
Rating: 5 Stars
I was only three when this album was originally released, so I kind of missed out on it the first time around. Sometime in the mid-'90s though, in general captivated by older music, especially when heard on the original vinyl, I was scouring the used LPs at a local record shop (remember those?) searching for lost treasure, when I happened upon the unforgettable cover of the album being reviewed here "Heat in the Street," depicting the members of Pat Travers Band chilling out relaxing in the hot sun, killing off a cold one or two with some remarkably hot women. Now, all these years later, this long out of print vinyl title is forever frozen in time on CD, thanks to the folks at the U.K.'s Majestic Rock label.
The album cover, which has thankfully been faithfully reproduced in the CD version, speaks volumes about the coming to be of the recording as well as the free-spirited nature of the music itself. Recorded in Miami during the sultry summer of '78, "Heat in the Street" is the perfect summer album. Even if you play it in the dead of winter though, the fun and lively spirit of the material is likely to get your body moving. Take "Go All Night" (which is track one of the B-side of the original LP) for instance. The sway and boogie of this track, along with lines like "Just another reason to party all night/If you've got to have a reason why," have seriously got me dancing around the room and in the mood to party many a time. It is followed by another classic track, "Evie," a very sexy number about the virtues of a really hot 17-year-old beauty (jailbait in other words). This album is just so FUN throughout. The band members sound like they had a blast that summer recording it and that translates well to the listener all these years later. One more notable track I must mention is the instrumental "Hammerhead," which is as good an example of late '70s speed metal as any. Classic stuff here.
Being a serious collector, I payed a high import price for my copy of the CD and that's a shame, that an album from a blues rock band as American as they come (though Travers himself is actually Canadian) is so hard to find in the band's own country. But get this album any way you can, even if it's an old vinyl copy (which isn't so bad. The album cover is so much bigger that way!). This material is very true and real, and endures with each passing year. Almost as fun to listen to as being rubbed down by the beautiful blonde girl that drummer Tommy Aldridge had the privilege of being in the cover photo...
