ALBUM: Zoom (1979)
MVC Rating: 3.5/$$$
A demented party record.
I remember in college the song ‘Do the Gator’ with lyrics:
There’s a dance you can do, if your drunk like me, get down and boogie horizontally … the hell with later, do the Gator, don’t be a hesitator, do the Gator
Root Boy falls in that odd-ball, country blues comedy space next to Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper and the Beat Farmers. While the ‘Gator’ and ‘World War III’ rock out with apocalyptic fervor, none of these bands have a song that burns up the world like ‘Funky Western Civilization‘ by Tonio K.
