Frogs - For Everybody (Usa '76)

on the local Long Island, New York Lily Pad RecordSelf-produced and released on their own Lily Pad imprint, "Frogs for Everybody" was a rather low-keyed and surprisingly charming set. To be perfectly honest anyone expecting to hear Mr. Flood, Part 2 was probably disappointed by the collection. On the other hand, almost all of the dozen songs were quite tuneful and commercial, though widely diverse in musical styles. With Toscano responsible for most of the material, the opener 'For Everybody' offered up a nifty slice of folk-rock. 'Drivin' On' mixed a rock base with some great jazzy leads from Prezioso. ' Floatin'' and 'Crashin'' were pretty if unoriginal acoustic ballads. Personal favorites included the goofy 'Been So Long' and the bar rocker 'Shakey Dave McCoy'. My only real complaints are the absence of one true killer track and the fact that my copy of the album has a somewhat flat, thin and tinny sound. [acid archives]
