Backstory: This American rock band from Raleigh, NC was formed in the early 70's, but didn't get any chart success until the early 80's when one of their first singles, "(I Like) the Way You Play" Bubbled Under the Hot 100 at No. 108. Two years later in '82, they released this cover of The Hollies", "On A Carousel" (No. 11, 1967), which became a mid-chart hit. It was their one and only Hot 100 Chart entry. A low-budget video was also made for the song, which got occasional MTV airplay. They disbanded in '86.
The Review: I've always really liked their version of the classic Hollies' tune. Its got nice vocal work and nice guitars and keyboards. Should've been a bigger hit, though I wouldn't peg it for a Top 10.
Final rating: 8/10
