Luke Haines - Rock and Roll Animals

Review by Ben Philpott

Yet another triumph for Luke Haines' extraordinary ability to put out whatever the fuck he wants.»

Buy now from:

Cherry Red Records release the brand new solo album from Luke Haines (The Servants, The Auteurs, Baader Meinhof and Black Box Recorder). 'Rock and Roll Animals' is a psychedelic story for grown-ups (and children). Jimmy Pursey is a frisky fox; Nick Lowe - a solid badger and Gene Vincent - a cat who's seen a bit more of life than most of us. Three furry freaks. Three Rock and Roll animals. The fable of our four-pawed shamen is narrated by the good folk of Magic Town. This is a story of righteous rock n roll and how our three rock n roll animal friends, when not frolicking in the undergrowth, do battle with their most unrighteous nemesis - a fuck ugly bird (from Tyneside) made of steel and wire called The Angel Of The North.
