Fore!, Catherine


From the album's first note, Huey Lewis and the News' Fore! shoots you out of a cannon into a 1980s dreamscape, awakening the primal urge to don a crisp pair of acid wash jeans and vote for Ronald Reagan one hundred times. With Fore!, Lewis and his News have produced unparalleled power pop tunes about the trials, tribulations, and unbridled joys of American life, like piercing your penis ("Jacob's Ladder") and grappling with chronic masturbation ("Whole Lotta Lovin'"), all while producing fun, unassuming, easy-to-bop-to beats even your grandmother can't resist. Fore! changed my stupid fucking life and I'll never be the same.
