Carry the Torch: A Tribute to Kid Dynamite
OK, let’s be frank; not many people, I assume, buy tribute records because they’re a huge fan of the artist being paid tribute. You buy the album because you like the bands (at least some of them) who are performing the covers, and maybe enjoy some of the originals. That’s more or less what brings me to this record. Prior to placing the order for this album, I was only familiar with Kid Dynamite’s Shorter, Faster, Louder, which I enjoyed. But I saw Broadway Calls and the Ergs! on the line-up of artists taking part, and I was sold.
And so now that this long-awaited 2xLP is available to the public, how does it stack up?
