Kim Mitchell - Shakin' Like a Human Being (1986)

The partnership of Canadian guitarist Kim Mitchell and lyricist Pye Dubois produces a strong, third post-Max Webster release. Sounding more confident than ever with his singing, Mitchell demonstrates real stylistic range, all written by himself and his partner. There's the VU meter-abusing "Get Lucky" to kick things off and, later, the piquancy of budding childhood romances in "Patio Lanterns." Peter Fredette contributes sympathetic singing backup.~ Review by Mark Allan
