Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Alive in America - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Babes in Toyland is part of the Riot Girl scene that came out of the Alternative Rock and Grunge era of the early 90's, the group consists entirely of girls. Girls that rock! They were getting some airplay on MTV with the song InchBruise VioletInch which appeared in Beavis and Butthead at one point. What we have is a thick slab of beefed-up riffs dripping with grungy goodness in the saucy guitar tones and some awesome snarling, aggressi singing from lead singer Kat Bjelland. The best thing about InchFontanelleInch is the use of simple songwriting to create effective music. The overall tone of the album is pretty cool; it's some good grunge music with a female touch.

This is Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show's debut album, where they crashed onto the country-rock scene with performances full of character and songs almost exclusively written by poet Shel Silverstein for the band.
