Peter Wolf was the leader of The J. Giles Band, despite the band’s name. This was one of his better-faring solo singles after he left the band in the 80s. Great chorus and the rest is lame by-the-numbers mid-80s white R&B, complete with SNL-style sax solo.

"Hey Jordan... life's a River and it bends..." By Peter Wolf.

Badass dudes. My favorite band from ‘73-75 -J. Geils!! Peter Wolf is still # killin’ it out there (I played & sang on his solo album, Fool’s Parade in ‘99). Albums #1-4 contain some of the greatest rock/R&B performance of all time, IMHO…check ‘em out! #jgeilsband #peterwolf #magicdick #sethjustman #rocknroll #randb (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxEBrkIvz8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A picture disc 7” from Boston’s third-best band—The J. Giles Band’s “Freeze Frame” b/w “Rage in a Cage.” Both tracks are killers, with the B-side in particular highlighting how the band adapted its good-time rock n roll sound to the herky-jerky rhythms of New Wave with ease.

You always knew this band was a great time! Yeah like the time they sold out #pineknob multiple nights and came to play our beloved #bookiesclub870 thanks to our wonder Detroit Boy #jackashton hanging with Peter Wolf was an awesome time . This band knew the #detroitbreakdown and the party they brought was as good as the album cover! I remember handing out fliers for their unannounced show for #jimmyandthejukejoints and their fans throwing them to the ground saying “ I ain’t going to that punk rock club” not knowing it was their fave band! This studio album feels live and contains their hit #lookingforalove and their classic #itaintwhatyoudoitshowyoudoit love this guys as Detroit was their 2nd home Enjoy!

Producer Peter Wolf made a lot of s——-records with a lot of bands (Starship, Wang Chung, Big Country, Chicago, El DeBarge, Nik Kershaw, Heart, The Commodores, Patti LaBelle) and this is the s——- record he made with Go West. It is well-produced pablum, astoundingly inoffensive and unremarkable, as instantly forgotten as a 6AM dream, and that’s a shame, because Peter Cox had that white soul vocal down cold. It goes to waste, however, on an entire album of innocuous lite jazz-esque pop aimed at absolutely no one, meant to be played in the background while divorcées clumsily flirt in a hotel bar. All music has its place, but would you BUY an album of that? Tellingly, it was their last record on a major label, even though it had three now-forgotten hits; what should have been a springboard for their career proved to be a death knell instead. 
What makes this particular copy special, however, is that it exists. Released in the early 90s, the album got a vinyl release only in far-off corners of the globe; this copy came from Greece, where it was pretty obscure there to begin with. As a completist, I had to grab it, but found it as underwhelming as ever when I gave it an inaugural spin this afternoon. At least “King of Wishful Thinking” is still a great track.
