Girls, Girls, Girls continued Mötley Crüe's commercial hot streak, eventually going quadruple platinum as its predecessor, Theatre of Pain, had; meanwhile, the title track brought them their second Top 20 single, and "Wild Side" became a popular MTV item. In general, the Crüe really plays up the sleaze factor on this album, trying to recapture some of the street-tough grittiness that fueled Too Fast for Love -- even appearing on the cover astride motorcycles and wearing leather; this time around, the influence of Aerosmith is felt to a much greater degree. The production is too polished to really give the record a raw, dirty feel, but the raunchiness comes through all the same. Again, there's a bit of filler, as though the band knew they didn't have to make a completely consistent record to maintain their popularity, but there are enough high points along the way to make Girls, Girls, Girls an entertaining party-metal platter. [In 1999, the Crüe remastered and reissued Girls, Girls, Girls on their own Motley/Beyond label with four bonus tracks: instrumental mixes of three selections, plus the previously unreleased song "Rodeo."] ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Let Your Love Flow The Bellamy Brothers |
| Country veterans David Milton and Homer Howard Bellamy are the latest beneficiaries of Advertising industry's magic career rescue touch; thanks to one of their biggest hits being used in the latest Barclays credit card commercial. "Let Your Love Flow" was the second of the Bellamy's singles and their first successful one. It was written by a former Neil Diamond roadie and went to reach number one in several countries both sides of the Atlantic. A fine example of the irresistible wave of country pop that dominated the US charts during the Seventies, heralded by stars such as Kenny Rogers and Dr. Hook. No need for a crystal ball to foresee a second run in our charts for it; maybe followed by a greatest hits repackage, timely released for the Christmas market. That's the always difficult gift for old uncle Joe sorted! | |
