NRBQ
For the uninitiated, NRBQ is an oddity. How does one, for instance, approach a band who sings a song like "Howard Johnson's Got His Ho-Jo Working?" The answer may be, "not very seriously," but then another problem reveals itself: the songs are so catchy. "Who Put the Garlic in the Glue?" and "Magnet" bounce along like an early-'70s version of Ben ...

Whether you regard him as one of the greatest storytellers in American history or a cold-hearted marketing genius who forced a set of prepackaged consumerist myths on several generations of unsuspecting youth, there's little argument that the films of Walt Disney have become an indelible part of our collective subconsciousness. Then again, for ...

NRBQ
NRBQ's short-lived alliance with Mercury Records resulted in one of the tightest and most consistently rockin' albums of their career, NRBQ at Yankee Stadium, but a year later they found themselves back on their own Red Rooster label, where the band relaxed and let their characteristic wit come to the forefront on 1979's Kick Me Hard. Opening with ...

NRBQ
After being unceremoniously dumped by Mercury after Yankee Stadium, NRBQ returned to the warm embrace of Rounder and recorded a string of fine records that started with Kick Me Hard. This lineup was to remain intact for nearly 20 years, but here, fairly early on, the synchronicity among the quartet was apparent; it was if they'd been playing ...

NRBQ
After a dozen or so years on Rounder Records, NRBQ signed on with Virgin for the Andy Paley co-produced Wild Weekend (1989). The quartet retains its eclectic range of pop and rock mayhem, adapting several well-worn concert favorites for this studio platter. Nowhere is that more evident than the opening title track, which Terry Adams, Joey ...

A benefit album for abortion rights, Born to Choose features an almost standard cast of alternative musicians (including R.E.M., Natalie Merchant, Matthew Sweet, Bob Mould, and Soundgarden) supporting the most overtly political of all recent tribute collections. Born to Choose would be meaningless if the music was weak. Even though it is the ...

NRBQ
Thirty-five years after their 1969 self-titled debut, NRBQ's Dummy delivers 13 highly accessible titles with enough quirky delight to rival Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe and other purveyors of the mid-'70s new wave sound. Oh the rhythm & blues is still there, as sure as that's part of the group's name, but on this mostly new album (which includes ...

This is without question one of the 'Q's [read: NRBQ's] best compilations -- displaying many facets of the band's instrumental agility and uncanny sonic reinventions. Chronologically, Tapdancin' Bats represents the quartet during the mid- to late '70s. However, a number of the tunes -- most notably "Ain't It Alright" and "Trouble at the Henhouse" ...

1988's Diggin' Uncle Q is NRBQ's second consecutive live release, recorded largely in Providence, Rhode Island. Given their über-bar band aesthetic, the live setting typically represents the Q at their best; it's where their rock and R&B roots really shine through.

NRBQ's 12th album for the Rounder imprint finds the band employing their usual eclectic approach on a dozen quirky originals and coming up with their first album for children.

Right out of the box NRBQ were a different kind of band. Their self-titled 1969 debut album opened with back-to-back covers of Eddie Cochran's rockabilly classic "C'mon Everybody" and Sun Ra's exploratory jazz adventure "Rocket #9," and things only got weirder from there. Very few people got it at first, but from the start "the Q," as they're ...

NRBQ is one of, if not arguably the only rock band that would be able to pull off a disc of original country-flavored pop songs and obscure covers.
