Not to be confused with ‘50s crooner and ex-husband to Elizabeth Taylor, this Eddie Fisher came along a bit later as a jazz guitarist with Albert King in the ‘60s and boldly envisioning how he wanted this album cover to look to the Stang Records art director circa 1977.
The lyrics are thoroughly corny or at least safely thin (i.e. “Brain-strain” and “Music Makes Me Feel Good,” respectively) but the sessions are brilliantly funky. “Thump and Bump” is a B-side shard of wah-wah boogie blues that ratchets this LP right up there as peer to classic Shuggie and Little Beaver slabs.
