In the year that the Golden Earring scored a worldwide hit with Radar Love, the film classic Turkish Fruit was also released. In one of the memorable scenes in that movie, a demented grandpa to the beat of the Radetzkymars sings "tits, ass, tits, ass, tits, ass, ass ass." Perhaps that scene was the inspiration for Golden Earrings new album Tits' n Ass, good English for tits-ass. The title speaks
… volumes just like the music on this record. On their first CD in nine years, the Earring opts for direct rock without fuss. 'You don't have to deal with record sales anymore,' Barry Hay said scornfully during a television interview, but that truth argues for his band: they record an album because they just feel like it. The fun mainly splashes off the heavy rock songs such as Identical, Still Got The Keys To My First Cadillac and Dope Runner. A classic like Radar Love is not on it, but Tits' N Ass is a solid, Earring-worthy album. (PdK)more
