Juicy Lucy - Get a Whiff a This (CD)

All Music Guide

Juicy Lucy's third album in 18 months, and the third to draw as much attention for its artwork as its contents, would prove to be the band's last. Although a fourth Juicy Lucy album would appear in 1972, not a single founding member was left on board.

Get A Whiff Of This itself was very much the son of its predecessor, still locked firmly into a country groove (the twanging "Mr A Jones", the fastpickin' "Jessica"), but looking out towards more unexpected pastures. The funky "Big Lil", the blistering antiwar anthem "Midnight Sun" were both strong inclusions, while a take on the Allmans' "Midnight Rider" remains one of that particular anthem's most dynamic revisions.
