Post Description

Released by Rhino Records, the Original Albums Series vol. 2 contains Nightmares…and Other Tales from the Vinyl Jungle (1974), Hotline (1975), Blow Your Face Out (1976), Monkey Island (1977) and Best of The J. Geils Band (1979).
The J. Geils Band was one of the most popular touring rock & roll bands in America during the ’70s. Where their contemporaries were influenced by the heavy boogie of British blues-rock and the ear-splitting sonic adventures of psychedelia, The J. Geils Band was a bar band pure and simple, churning out greasy covers of obscure R&B, doo wop, and soul tunes, cutting them with a healthy dose of Stonesy swagger. While their muscular sound and the hyper jive of frontman Peter Wolf packed arenas across America, it only rarely earned them hit singles. Seth Justman, the group’s main songwriter, could turn out catchy R&B-based rockers like “Give It to Me” and “Must of Got Lost,” but these hits never led to stardom, primarily because the group had trouble capturing the energy of its live sound in the studio.
