about

The third and last of the Flamin' Groovies late-'70s albums for Sire, "Jumpin' in the Night" storms out of the gate with the title song, a top-shelf rocker that brings the muscle of the Flamingo-era lineup of the Groovies to the more style-conscious British Invasion sonics of Cyril Jordan's version. Though "Jumpin' in the Night" never rocks that hard or that well again, it does sound decidedly tighter and tougher than 1978's Flamin' Groovies Now, and guitarist Mike Wilhelm, a new addition to the Now lineup, is much better integrated into their wall of guitars, with the Groovies sounding more solid than they did a year before. It's no wonder why the Flamin' Groovies loved the Byrds -- both were American bands who fell in love with the sounds of British rock and crafted their own variation on the style -- with three Byrds covers on the album along with takes on the Beatles, Dylan and Warren Zevon. The production and engineering by Roger Bechirian is crisp and flattering to the guitars. A great band, the Flamin' Groovies often seemed to have a hard time reconciling their best qualities with the record-making process, and "Jumpin' in the Night" is probably the best example of this dilemma, though it has more than enough worthwhile moments to compensate.
