Description

Another Mother Further, by Mother’s Finest

Bruce hosted this Album.

Truth'll Set You Free

"Baby Jean" Kennedy takes the lead vocals on this gospel-inspired track.

Mickey's Monkey

This remake of the original Smokey Robinson and the Miracles song also takes inspiration from Led Zeppelin — listen to the difference we share — and takes the energy level up a notch from the original.

Piece of the Rock

"Millionaire looking for another million dollars - a poor man looking for one." This may be Mother's Finest’s most popular song.

"Doc" Murdock takes the lead vocal duties.

Baby Love

"Baby Jean" Kennedy takes the lead again on this driving minor-key hit.


ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:

East Bound & Down by Jerry Lee Lewis. This was a popular hit from the movie "Smokey and the Bandit," which was released in the summer of TRANSAMS and SEMIS and CB RADIOS: 1977.


STAFF PICKS:

Wayne presents STYX - “The Grand Illusion”

The title track from the album. "Welcome to the grand illusion/come on in and see what's happenin'/pay the price, get your ticket for the show."

Rob brings us SUPERTRAMP - “Give a Little Bit”

Roger Hodgson fronts the vocals and the 12-string guitar in this international hit off the album, "Even in the Quietest Moments."

Brian riffs on ALICE COOPER - “You and Me”

A surprisingly mellow tune from the album “Lace and Whiskey,” Alice Cooper actually dedicated this song to his wife.

Bruce closes us out with RAM JAM - “Black Betty”

Originally a prison work/blues song, Black Betty was a one-hit wonder for Ram Jam.


LAUGH TRACK:

Jerry Reed closes us out with the B-Side to “East Bound and Done” : “(I'm Just a) Redneck in a Rock and Roll Bar.” Got to listen to the lyrics on this one.

Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?”
