Tasty is a 1974 album yesteryear Good Rats as well as was released on the Warner Brothers Records label. Wiki
"Tasty" is yesteryear far the greatest accomplishment yesteryear "America's Favorite Unknown Band": The Good Rats. I was commencement aquainted amongst the "Tasty" album at a immature historic menses when my father, who was a Good Rats fan inwards his youth, passed his gustatory modality inwards music downward to me. I commencement became familiar amongst the pop championship track, "Tasty", the upbeat lead-off track, "Back To My Music", as well as the eeire but lyrically ingenius as well as funny "300 Boys". Later on, I came to recognize the musical brilliance inwards "Klash Ka Bob", "Poppa Papa", "Phil Fliesh", the vocal magnificance inwards "Songwriter", "Injun Joe", as well as "Fireball Express", as well as the nostalgic ingenius inwards "Fred Upstairs as well as Ginger Snappers". And as well as then it hitting me. There is non a unmarried vocal on this album that isn't worth listening to. Peppi Marchello posseses the stone as well as ringlet vocalisation that nigh bands dream of having, John Gatto's guitar playing is flawless (check out "Klash Ka Bob" to hear Gatto at his best!), Lenny Kotke's fingers wing on the bass, Micky Marchello's guitar as well as vocal harmonies are ever dead on, as well as Joe Franco's drumming is admirable. Essentially, The Good Rats are the model band for 70's rock. Why as well as then did non become inwards large is beyond mystery to me. The "Tasty" album is a must-have for stone fans of all ages.

This is 1 degree human activeness inwards stone & roll...they are top notch musicians of the highest lodge as well as this is the house to start your collection...they ain't pretty but they become the chore done as well as man, usage they ever become the chore done. H5N1 friend of mine whom I worked amongst inwards college radio turned me on to the rail "Papa Poppa" amongst the comment, "Does this non audio similar it'd last a GREAT Guess Who tune?" I shut my eyes as well as listened, as well as I was hooked immediately. Over the years I've lost a few of their other albums but managed to hang onto this one...I'm rebuilding that collection at nowadays that I know I tin give the axe again! GREAT New York-New Bailiwick of Jersey stone & roll...no nonsense, no frills, simply incredible playing, corking vocals as well as super harmonies. Tasty non entirely describes their music...it defines it! By T. LeBaron
Up until recently, my sentiment of the Good Rats were, at best, a expert regional band. I shout out back seeing them alive inwards 1976 as well as proverb to a friend 'This band won't become inwards big. They don't accept THAT look'. All I tin give the axe state is for those who accept the same or similiar thoughts, delight read on.
Early inwards 2006, I heard the rail 'Dear Sir' off the From Rats to Riches LP as well as idea it was from to a greater extent than or less other artist. When I was told it was the Good Rats, I started listening to all the sample tracks from From Rats to Riches on Amazon. Days later, I was STILL listening.
Then I started listening to the sample tracks from Tasty. I decided to buy Tasty to give this the amount brain I felt it deserved. From the textures inwards the melodies to the pure musicianship displayed, I was excited as well as angry at the same time. If I entirely gave them a expert brain thirty years earlier, I would accept had the pleasance of having this music to savour for all these years. Maybe historic menses as well as life sense accept something to usage amongst this, who knows.
For those that are looking for something 'old school' as well as volition stand upward the exam of time, (IMHO) this LP surely does that as well as more. I accept since purchased Live At Last as well as From Rats to Riches along amongst Tasty as well as conception to savour them inwards the years ahead. By Time Will Tell
