U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 88
Backstory: This Virginia based country rock band originally formed as a trio in the late 70's and got signed to Warner Bros./ Curb Records. In 1982, they released their first charting single off of their self titled debut album, a minor Country Chart hit called, "(So This Is) Happy Hour" which peaked as high as No. 71 on the Country Charts. This other single was their one and only ever Hot 100 Chart entry, only peaking as high as No. 88 on the Hot 100. Their recording days came to an end, but they still continue to perform occasionally in the Virginia and Washington D.C. areas. The band's violinist, Cecil Hooker, however went on to become a film producer and editor. He has worked on numerous commercials and TV shows, specifically those for CBS.
The review: This is a pretty good and decent country rock tune. Not sure why it stalled so low. It's definitely nothing outstanding, but it's still really good as is. I like the strings and the fun and catchy upbeat rhythms of the guitars and the drum beat. The vocals are pretty fine as well.
Final rating: 7/10
