Brownsville Station
Anne Moore, LA Free Press, 10 May 1974
'Smokin' In the Boys Room' is the first hit for an audacious group by the name of Brownsville Station. Thankfully, Brownsville isn't just another commercial, studio-controlled group, but a raucous group that believes in good ol' rock 'n' roll and wild entertainment.
