The Flamin' Groovies : Jumpin' In The Night
In the Summer of 1979, The Flamin' Groovies released Jumpin' In The Night, their last album for Sire Records and the end of the band's major label dream. The album kicks off with the title track, a classic Groovies/Brit invasion style rocker.
It's followed by a few more strong songs like "Next One Crying", "First Plane Home" and "Yes I Am" before the album is dominated by covers, like "Werewolves of London", "Absolutely Sweet Marie", "Down Down Down" and three Byrds songs.
The result might make the listener conclude, as the record company did, that the Groovies were running out of their groove, but I'd rank this among the best of their albums, after Shake Some Action, Teenage Head and Now.
