Amazon.com Gary U.S. Bonds's early 1960s hit, "Quarter to Three," can stake a claim to being the party record. Name-checking colorful cohorts like "Daddy G" and the "Church Street Five," Bonds helped lay the groundwork for the neighborhood characters found in the street-corner symphonies of artists like Lou Reed and Bruce Springsteen. On Back in 20, the quintessential bar-band rocker still sounds thoroughly comfortable with his role as roadhouse master-of-ceremonies. After a two-decade absence from the recording scene, Bonds and his own band of veterans romp through a bunch of classic "tunes-to-imbibe-tequila-to." They give a fresh feel to well-worn standards like "Fannie Mae," but originals like "She Chose to Be My Baby" and "Too Much Too Little Too Late" do more than just fit in--they have a chance to become barroom standards themselves. Springsteen, Dickey Betts, Southside Johnny, and Phoebe Snow make appearances, but remain mere guests at Bonds's party. --Michael Ross Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGary U.S. Bonds sounding like Wilson Pickett - ALL GOOD! Howard R. Green Jr. | Boston, MA | 08/02/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you just got this album for the song "Fannie Mae" it would be worth it.... it should get nominated for a Grammy as the "kick-ass party soul song of the year"...seriously! Bonds sound a lot like Wilson Pickett circa 1968 on this album which is danged fine thing to sould like. It sounds like it was recorded live with everyone playing at once. You don't get this sort of down-home soul sound with spankin clean digital recording. Got to get dirty and sweaty to sound this good. I got this album because I just got around to watching the Blues Bros. 2000 movie, which isn't very good, but worth watching just to see the musicians and hear the music. Bonds is in the final Battle of the Bands scene and takes a fine solo vocal. I hope this album finds an audience because it deserves to be heard...and danced to." BACK IN 20 - Worth The Wait !! R&B Fan | Mid Atlantic Coast | 06/28/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "A great CD by the ledgendary US Bonds. Catches the energy as felt in the live shows and is a definite show case for his party sounds, now with a touch of the blues. Get this CD and see him the next time he's in town." TONIGHT AT BB KING'S GRILLE!! Joe Loftus | Little Silver, NJ USA | 06/18/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I used to work at The Stone Pony back in the early 80s and last night's live show at BB King's Blues Club was phenomenal! Gary still gets it done & with Southside Johnny & the Jukes as a kicker, the memories flooded back big time. The album is fabulous & in particular "Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks" with Bruce, "Fannie Mae" with Southside, & covers of Otis Redding's "Dreams to Remember" and Delbert McClinton's (I think1?) "Everytime I Roll The Dice" are standouts. Gary & the Roadhouse Rockers did all these in his show & had us jammed against the stage screaming for more! We truly would have "DANCED 'TIL QUARTER TO 3!" (Yep, Gary played that too!) :-)"
