20 More Explosive Fantastic Rockin' Mega Smash Hit Explosions!

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Volume 2 of Pravda's tribute to K-Tel Records of the early 70's, is a star-studded feast of beautiful, strange,and forgotten rock 'n' roll filtered through the 90's by 20 hi-powered bands. Where else can you find John Wesley Harding and Kelly Hogan paying homage to Donny and Marie? Or King Missile taking a swing at Orleans, just because both bands have a singer named John Hall? Or Uncle Tupelo doing the classic road son "Movin On". Or The Dayglo Abortions incinerating "I Write The Songs"? The list goes on and on. Famous rock stars and obscure artists all had a chance on this cd to record their favorite smash hit from the heyday of K-Tel TV only albums, and to twist, destroy, rearrange or preserve that smash hit as they felt it deserved. The result is a head-on collision of two rock and roll trains, a meeting of the seventies and nineties, and the wreckage is something to see. Its all here, and its all dynamic, Fantastic, Mega, Super, Rockin, and above all, Explosive!

4 out of 5 stars Fantastic-alicious.......2003-07-25

I have been listening to this CD for years. The music, of course, is timeless. The artists are awesome. Each group or artist gives their own spin on each classic. The Smithereens doing "It don't come easy" is great. "Go all the way" by Trip Shakespeare is Raspberrie-worthy. Trip Shakespeare later went on to become Semi-sonic. If you want a good laugh at Neil Diamonds expense check out track number 10. Dayglow Abortions redo of I Write the Songs makes Gimme the Gimmes seem like babies.
