A shame this is Outta Print in the States…
By Andy Whorehall
Another lost musical nugget from the 80′s. One listen to this album tells you the boys in the band never had any purposes whatsoever to stay in touch with 80′s musical trends. An album of this musical quality, folk/rock mixed with 50′s style R&B, such as “12 Bar Blues,” and a touch of Burt Bacharach on “My Girlfriend’s Pretty,” plus touching sly lyrics on “A Girl Like That,” never had a prospect in the 80′s. Even the production sounds timeless. Good ol’ fashioned rock n’roll. A bar band album with something extra. Brains.

outstanding
By Howlglen
This work is merely outstanding, I think NRBQ may have peaked with Grooves. The LP starts with the raucous Smackeroo and then proceeds to display the full range of Q’s talent. Great melodies (Girl Like That) great jazz (My Girlfriend’s Pretty) great country (Hit the Hay). And then again, just great R & B: 12 Bar Blues, I Like That Girl, When Things Was Cheap, Rain at the Drive-In. The only low point, in my mind, is Get Rhythym. I don’t why they re-recorded it, the Yankee Stadium version is superior, to me. But, if you’re looking for one of their best, do undertake this early 80s offering. You can’t go wrong.

A welcome return…
By Gary Hobish
… to “in print” status for this, amidst the most accessible studio recordings from the long & storied career of NRBQ. “Rain At The Drive-In,” of course, is one of the bands a lot of “shoulda-beena” hits; a definitive version of Johnny Cash’s “Get Rhythm” (recorded again for “At Yankee Stadium,” another necessary Q recording); “I Like That Girl,” one of a great deal of ‘Q recordings to appear on The Simpsons; live set stalwarts like “12 Bar Blues,” “Smackaroo” and “Daddy-O.” Simply a great, great, American rock& roll album.
