Album review: Huey Lewis & the News, Four Chords & Several Years Ago (1994)

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, JUNE 10, 1994

By Steve Newton

Having already embarrassed himself to the utmost degree with the ultra-lame, supersucky, unforgivably bogus “Stuck With You”, all-American apple-pie rocker Huey Lewis turns his vacuous eye on a slew of soul and R&B covers from the ’50s and ’60s.

The painful result–thanks to squeaky-clean, gutless arrangements of great tunes such as “Good Morning Little School Girl”–would make a suitable soundtrack for socks hops in Hell, with Terry David Mulligan as the evil deejay.

Devilishly inane.
