About
The J. Geils Band's second album is best known for its turbo-charged version of "Lookin' for a Love" by Bobby Womack's first group, The Valentinos; it became the Geils gang's first hit. It also sports the band's own tune "Cry One More Time," which earned immortality when it was covered by country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons on his 1973 debut album. But perhaps <i>The Morning After</i>'s most impressive aspect is the fact that the band's original songs sound like they're cut from the same cloth as the vintage R&B tunes covered here, which include Dyke & The Blazers' funky "So Sharp" and Don Covay's '60s soul stroll "The Usual Place."
