Music Review

Atsa My Band (2002)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Aug 06, 2002; Lead Performance: NRBQ; Genre: Rock

These mischievous genre-hoppers have spent three decades blurring the line between the sublime and the ridiculous, conveying the sheer joy of making music with effortless expertise and wide-eyed innocence. This self- released set of impish originals (''Party in My Head'') and sweetly loopy covers (''Beautiful Sunday'') isn't the quartet's most focused work, but it embodies the deceptively casual-sounding mastery that makes the 'Q a one-of-a-kind gem.
