专辑介绍
by Dave Thompson
After the electric vitality of its predecessor and the prepossessing energy of her first four singles, Suzi Quatro put out a second album that was a dreadful disappointment, the fault -- one assumes -- of having been cut so quickly after its predecessor that nobody involved in the process had time to even catch her or his breath. Just two Quatro/Tuckey originals make it on, and one of them, &Klondyke Kate,& is little more than a throwaway, while Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman's contributions, too, are uncharacteristically lackluster -- the still vital &Devil Gate Drive& notwithstanding, of course. Of course, there are mitigating circumstances. The Chinnichap duo itself was in transition at this time, trying to retool a super-successful but hideously hidebound writing formula toward a less glam-entrenched listening audience. The recently discovered Smokie was to be the prime beneficiary of this new attitude, but the next few Quatro singles, too, reflected the then-prevalent belief that &mature& songs were the way to go -- and &mature,& in those days, meant not having quite so much fun as they used to. Neither &Too Big& nor &The Wild One& are classic Quatro, even if the performances themselves are as committed as ever, while the dour mood conveyed by those efforts is only amplified by the strictly unimaginative choice in rock & roll covers that complete the set. Every bar band in the land cut its teeth on &Keep a Knockin',& &Trouble,& &Move It,& and &A Shot of Rhythm and Blues.& Very few were still playing them two albums later. Only a wild, and wildly unexpected rendition of &Hit the Road Jack& truly salvages the show, and that's not really saying much -- novelty songs always stand out when there's nothing else to laugh at. Ultimately, of course, Quatro would be seen as a mere hiccup in a career that had many, many years left to run -- and many more twists and turns to take. At the time, however, another monarch had quietly slipped from its throne, another spangle had dropped off the glam rock crown. It really was all rather sad.

- @微微(英洋歌姬)：70年初期被英国超级製作人Mickie Most(The Animals、LuLu、Donovan)发掘，Suzi到了英国伦敦发展，1973年的单曲「Can The Can」，勇夺英国及欧洲多国冠军，也席捲澳洲排行直奔冠军后座，紧接著在70年代推出的单曲及专辑，皆成为欧洲轰动作品，当时火红延烧的华丽摇滚，也在 Suzi掌控下，发挥的淋漓尽致。歌而优则演的Suzi，也参与了多齣戏剧演出，展现不凡才华。
- @微微(英洋歌姬)：原名Susan Kay Quatrocchio的Suzi Quatro，出生於美国底特律，自年幼深受摇滚乐影响，偕同姊妹Arlene与Patti组成纯女子乐团Pleasure Seekers，推出多首引人瞩目单曲，曾获邀至越南参加劳军演唱会。随著Arlene离团专心带小孩，另一位家族好姊妹Nancy紧接入替并改名 Cradle，强调更多硬式摇滚根源，敲击出不输男子摇滚乐团的那份悍劲。
