Our Take

HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS have been rocking the airwaves for four decades now, and what better way to celebrate than with a 40th Anniversary Edition of their classic album, Sports. This reissue is like finding a dusty old gem in your parents' record collection, but instead of collecting dust, it's here to breathe new life into your playlists.

Upon first listen, the catchy hooks and infectious energy of tracks like "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "I Want a New Drug" are as irresistible as ever. Huey's gravelly vocals and the band's tight musicianship are a winning combination that stands the test of time. It's like a warm hug from your favourite uncle, with a side of mullet-tastic nostalgia.

But this anniversary edition isn't just a trip down memory lane – it's a celebration of a moment in music history that continues to resonate today. The deluxe package includes live versions of the album's hits, as well as a selection of demos and b-sides that showcase the band's creative process.

In true Pitchfork fashion, we can't help but give this reissue a solid 8 out of 10. HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS prove once again that good music never goes out of style, and Sports remains a timeless classic that deserves a spot in your music collection. So dust off those dancing shoes and get ready to rock out like it's 1983 all over again. Cheers to 40 years of musical magic!
