The Gene Drayton Unit
Due Bottoni
Label: Butterfly Records Release Date: 18/11/2002
Groovy is a word that is excruciatingly over-used. Face it pop pickers, **Austin Powers, **TOTP2 et al have wrecked the 60?s for our generation. We can?t talk about Hammond, mod or swinging without overtones of a **David Brent** or a.n.other joker hovering over our shoulder. Well maybe we could talk about swinging?
The new *Gene Drayton Unit *single would be a great track to swing too. Jazz is normally a word that would make your average Drowned in Sounder cringe, but this is jazz at its joyous life affirming best. With overtones of The Castaways'?Liar Liar? and lashings of gorgeous sax (stay with me) this is a track that makes you want to get up in the morning, get your glad rags on at night, and damn it! shake your tail feather down the disco. If you don?t like this single you are dead! C?mon kids, reclaim the groove.
