Frijid Pink: All Pink Inside (Fantasy)
Gene Sculatti, Zoo World, 7 November 1974
WHAT DO you do if you're a certified and stamped One Hit Wonder? It depends. You can only play out your hit for so long; after that you can dry up or mutate; nowadays if you pick mutation you've got three choices. You can turn into a hulking metal machine, or wear overalls and transmute into a loose-jawed jam band down around Macon. Or you can head up country, fiddle around, then fragment into whiny Colorado flakes.
