A Funk-Lite Labyrinth: Maze
Barney Hoskyns, NME, 27 March 1982
FRANKIE BEVERLYS eight-man Maze could have come to Europe at any time in the last two years and met with the same phenomenal response they are experiencing now. Instead, they have chosen to build up their reputation slowly and surely in America, securing a steady following that put the Live In New Orleans double album high in the American charts and ensures sell-out concerts wherever they go.
