Talking Heads: Tina Weymouth
Vivien Goldman, Sounds, 25 June 1977
ALRIGHT, I'm impressed. Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz are one of the hottest rhythm sections I've seen. I expected a lot of the Talking Heads after their so-fine-I-wish-it-were-mine 45, but nobody and bothered to inform me that their rhythm section's as funky and convincing as a Muscle Shoals/Channel One product.
