Flamin' Groovies - Flamin' Groovies Now - The Deluxe Edition (2026)

In 1978, the Flamin' Groovies released their follow-up album, Flamin' Groovies Now, just eighteen months after their return to the American recording scene. Despite losing guitarist James Ferrell, the band replaced him with Mike Wilhelm and showcased increased musical cohesion and a relaxed rhythm section following extensive touring. The album captured the band in top form, highlighting their enthusiastic performance style across several notable sessions. However, the record relies heavily on cover versions, including tracks by the Beatles, Cliff Richard, and the Rolling Stones. While these interpretations showcase the flavor of the period, they create a sense of inconsistency that prevents the collection from reaching the soaring heights of their previous work.
