Sharks - Jab It In Yore Eye {Out Of Print} @256 kbps

Ok I'll see your "First Water" and raise it with "Jab It In Yore Eye"  I liked this one better than the first. The singer "Snips" always reminded me of  Jackie Lynton from Savoy Brown Jack The Toad era. Songs

2. Baby Shine A Light
3. Sun Beat Down
4. Rain Or Shine
5. Kung Fu
6. Sophistication

{Out of Print}

The son of Bad Company is what this debut by the band Sharks resembles. Lead vocalist Snips sounding like he gargled with Kim Carnes and Paul Rodgers' mouthwash, that gravel voice Rod Stewart made the most of accompanied here by guitar great Chris Spedding, drummer Marty Simon, and bassist Andy Fraser from the group Free. This self-titled debut doesn't have the groove of their 1974 release, Jab It in Yore Eye, despite four of the nine songs written by Fraser (replaced by Busta Cherry Jones on the follow-up), including "Doctor Love," a song Leslie West covered for his The Great Fatsby album, generating some early validation for this work. One of the problems here is the packaging -- the bane of any act's existence who found themselves on MCA at the time without having superstar credentials. The light-blue logo of Sharks on a deeper-blue underwater cover could be misconstrued for a children's record. Though none of the players had the profile of a Mick Ralphs or Paul Rodgers, this was still a minor supergroup and one who fit well into the early '70s. Album design problems aside, a song like "Broke a Feeling" comes off sounding like a jam, as does much of the record. With the redoubtable Chris Spedding on guitar -- an immensely powerful individual who holds this combination together -- it is still going to be worthwhile, though only for musical people and fans of this blues-based rock. When Andy Fraser punched out a number of classics with Paul Rodgers in Free, it was the songwriting that brought it over the top and onto radio. These compositions just don't have the bite found on Free records, or Bad Company or Mott the Hoople for that matter.
