"Five Virgins" / Sing The Hits Of Johnny Kidd And The Pirates

Released

When the Squirrels’ debut album emerged, it was split between two different lineups and names (the New Age Urban Squirrels and Ernest Anyway and the Mighty Mighty Squirrels). Rob Morgan’s enthusiastic genius remains the core, as his winning delivery on a slew of Kidd’s early rock and roll hits – not even including “Shakin’ All Over” – shows. As for the Five Virgins side, there’s uproarious Norman Greenbaum and Jerry Reed redos, not to mention the Joey Kline-sung “Me & Roger (The Cowboy and the Kid),” a most unlikely Roger Staubach tribute.
