Title: If you knew Suzi
Artiste: Suzi Quatro
Genre: Hard rock
Track 1 (Love) I know this, as most of us do; one of her big hit ( I said “hit”!) singles. Great stuff.
Track 2 (Love) Same here, another big hit and a great song.
Track 3 (Love) Slower, bit moodier, still really catchy and captures the smoky sensuality of this lady
Track 4 (Love) Not crazy about the Kinks, but she does a good version.
Track 5 (Love) Suzi was always at her best when working with Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, and this is another of their gems. Sort of a reggae feel to it, but that doesn't spoil it for me
Track 6 (Love) Another by the hitmaking pair, and another good, if slightly wishy-washy song
Track 7 (Love) Nothing wrong with covering a Petty track! Again she makes a fine job of it. Nice sleazy shuffle, love the sprinkly keyboards
Track 8 (Love) A great rocker, and one of only three written by Suzi
Track 9 (Love) She really gets a chance to exercise those lovely, um, lungs on Rick Derringer's song here
Track 10 (Love) Bit “Leader of the pack” with some elements of Springsteen. Good song.
End result: Was probably never in doubt as Suzi was a huge crush when I were a lad, but I certainly was not disappointed in this.
So, Love or Hate? Hey, it's Suzi Q! Gotta be
Love!
