The Hot Rats – Turn Ons

  • March 8, 2010

The Hot Rats, a.k.a. two members of the UK band Supergrass, put their own spin on classic rock songs by the likes of the Doors, David Bowie, the Kinks, and even the Beastie Boys. Turn Ons is comprised entirely of covers, and for the most part, they are fun, energetic versions that one would expect to hear played during a Supergrass concert. On most of the tracks, including David Bowie’s “Queen Bitch” and Squeeze’s “Up The Junction,” The Hot Rats don’t take a huge departure from the originals. But their take on “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)” is a surprisingly successful psychedelic version with falsetto vocals. – Written by DBosket
