The J. Geils Band: The Morning After (Atlantic)
Lenny Kaye, Rolling Stone, 11 November 1971
Call em the best new band of 1971, if you will, cause thats what they are, and heres the goods to prove it: The Morning After, a recollection of the sort of things that went down the Night Before, a hard-core dose from the College of Musical Knowledge that comes on like rifle fire on a hot summer night.
