The Bollweevils Essential CD

Chicago’s BOLLWEEVILS return with a new full-length after a fourteen-year absence, and they haven’t missed a step. A solid outing here. Admittedly, I’ve never been a huge fan of this band—aside from their split with 88 FINGERS LOUIE and their Weevilive album, I’ve been mostly ignorant to their catalog. After giving this one a few spins, it’s got me interested in giving their back catalog another listen. I believe that those already familiar with the band will be more than satisfied with this offering, and those who are new to the band, or like me, kind of ignored them in the past, will be pleasantly surprised by what they hear.
