VA - Love Is Volume One (2017)

Hej America! The other day the folks at Bongo Boy asked me to give a listen and share my thoughts about an upcoming album called LOVE IS Volume One. This is a bit of a new area for me, as love songs usually are not really my thing, unless you would consider Alice Cooper’s Only Women Bleed a love song. If you have not heard that song for a while, take a listen and think about the words. Alice Cooper was singing about domestic violence and how terrible it is. I find it interesting that one of the most shocking “scary” acts would perform a song that was, in actuality, very sensitive and forward thinking for the time. Just for good measure, and to assure no one would think he was too sensitive the B-side of this single was Cold Ethel, but I digress. The album which is the subject of this review has some of my favorite Bongo Boy artists on it, so it should be good.
