Hooked

Love love love this album. Every single track I love; every single track is still as good and sounds as fresh years later as when it was first recorded which as I recall was 1991. This is the European pressing. There were no extra tracks on the USA or European ones, the Japanese had 1 bonus track in Wasted Rock Ranger which somehow just didn't actually fit the mood of this album at all. European disks were blue, Japanese yellow and USA ones were grey. This is sheer pure blues rock and you can't better it. Tracks are: Call it Rock n Roll, Original Queen of Sheba, Cold Hearted Lovin, Can't Shake it, Lovin Kind, Heartbreaker, Congo Square (my favourite), South Bay Cities, Desert Moon (really rocks) Afterglow (Steve Mariott cover and again no-one does it better) If your new to Great White all of the Capitol recording albums are sheer class and absolutely rock. This is and always has been my favourite.

I've been looking for this on CD for a long time. It's a cracking album. I love it. Especially Congo Square, what a great track.

Big fan of Great White and this album is one of there best.

Heard it first time in 1990 on vynil, bought it now again for nostalgic reasons, still sounds great as then - somewhat primitive, but very compelling west coast rock. Service from the seller was impeccable, if albeit pricey for a not so much of a classic -£20!!! Still, I would recommend both.

always a classic, still is one a crime not readily available should be better known than it is (same for the band)

This is one shark you really need to catch. Every track is a gem from start to Finnish. Congo Square always gets a mention but make no mistake this whole album is awesome, and beautifully produced.

Great White have been one of the great survivors of the '80s era of rock/metal, and were certainly still going a couple of years ago (when they achieved notoriety after some on-stage pyrotechnics set fire to the nightclub they were playing, resulting in several deaths - don't know what happened to them after that!). They were never Big League, but kept churning out some pretty good singalong rock tunes. 'Hooked' is typical of their work - not groundbreaking, but none the worse for that, and very listenable to. Neither noticably better or worse than the other couple of albums of theirs that I have.

REALLY GREAT ROCK SONGS INDEED THANK YOU.

Quel album un must du rock californien deuxième meilleur album du combo

Even though I am a senior banker in my 40s now, I have no qualms in admitting that I have always been a fan of hard rock, especially blues based. Great White qualifies. Furthermore, their music is melodic. 'Hooked' was perhaps the last album produced by the original line up of Jack Russell (vocalist), Mark Kendall (lead guitars), Michael Lardie (keyboards and guitars), Audie Desbrow (drums) and Tony Montana (bass guitar from 1987 to 1992). Although the album 'Once Bitten' and then 'Twice Shy' fared better than it, 'Hooked' is decidedly voted the best of their work on their website (you can also participate in voting) and of course, it is voted the best by me too. The group is at its best in this album. From the pathos and wailings of Russell to weeping of Kendall's guitar, from their ballads to simple rock and roll music that will send you dancing in a jiffy, this album has everything that one can ask for. Besides, if you want to hear the best use of wah wah peddal, listen to Kendall's work anytime, but he is really good in this album in song 'Congo Square'. There you will find some creativity and originality. He is the best guitarist in rock and roll as rock and roll was supposed to be. Btw, 'Congo Square' starts with a bluesy wailing full of pathos by Russell, but ends in a very groovy guitar work by Kendall. When grunge metal delt quite a fatal blow to heavy metal of the 80s, many bands decided to go heavier or disappear for a while. Great White took another approach - they softened, but still retained their blues base and melodic approach to hard rock. 'Hooked' proved that their approach was smarter. Great White music will not disappoint you. I hope they continue to produce music for a very long time.

Molto seri e professionali. Il prodotto è arrivato da New York poiché in Italia è introvabile. Consigliatissimo anche il cd, anche se i primi album erano migliori
