Our Take

Dr Hook and the Medicine Show's latest offering, "Alive In America" on silver marble vinyl, is a delightful blend of nostalgia and pure entertainment. This album is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a thrift shop, with its whimsical melodies and infectious grooves transporting listeners back to the heyday of 70s rock and roll.

From the moment the needle drops on the first track, you can't help but be charmed by the charismatic vocals of Dr Hook himself, whose gravelly voice adds a touch of roughness to the smooth instrumental arrangements. The band's chemistry is palpable, with each member contributing their own unique flair to the mix.

Tracks like "Cover of the Rolling Stone" and "Sylvia's Mother" showcase the band's knack for storytelling, weaving tales of love, heartbreak, and everything in between. The live setting adds an extra layer of energy to the performance, capturing the raw emotion and spontaneity that makes Dr Hook and the Medicine Show such a joy to experience.

While some may dismiss this album as a mere blast from the past, "Alive In America" proves that good music is timeless. So pour yourself a glass of whiskey, kick back, and let Dr Hook and the Medicine Show take you on a journey through the golden age of rock music. You won't be disappointed.
