The Rhythm Shakers

The Fire of Love   double 45

(Wild Records)



"I would love to watch a stripper dance to this song," once purred Marlene Perez of "The Fire of Love." And that boom-ba-ba-boom invitation to salaciousness is indeed suited to slinkery. At it and in more agitated turns, here, players' aggressions combine in the rambunctiousness that drove fogies to distraction when finned land-yachts coursed interstates. With that jacked up into contemporary hullabaloo, and Marlene loosing robust exhortations felt even in back rows - while whipping frank carnality into mouth-watering spectacle - fun girls of the runway and assorted knuckle-crackers relish the long and felicitous night ahead.

Recommended: "Fire of Love," "That's Alright," "I Don't Need No Doctor," "Calm the Fire"

Videos: "Fire of Love"   (live)   "That's Alright" (Live, Rockin' Race Jamboree, Spain)   "I Don't Need No Doctor" (live, Viva Las Vegas 28)   "Calm the Fire" (live snippet)
