Mother Trucker "Wrap It Up" 1975 UK Glam Rock
  • 7 years ago
Classify under the Glam Girls Hall of Fame.....Mother Trucker are fine examples of Tuff Glam Crunch-a-rama in Punchin' Judy mode with extra horn(s). Signed by the US branch of Ember by John Madara, Mother Trucker was an all-girl UK outfit supposedly with a background in road haulage (yeah right...). There also seems to be some line-up confusion between the US and Belgium releases --spot the similarities.... of the two picture sleeves of these beautiful girls, looks like a different band. The Japanese Lp release (Titled 'Love Rock' and has a different track order) shows only three girls, rather than that of the UK (which shows six girls on the cover, but only 5 on the back). The songs are Glam Rock with pretty good vocals to back them up, electric guitars and horns add for a great mix.... 'Propeller Love' is the standout track. About half the LP is good-to-great stompin' glam-tinged rock; the rest pulls in too many directions, and the band is often drowned out by the horns. Musically the album is a mix of pop, soft and glam rock with what in all honesty can only be described as somewhat dated innuendo laden lyrics - all in all though it's actually quite fun..... Whatever the line-up Mother Trucker can handle my logistics any day!.....

watch.......
