“Pyrrhic Victories” is BTB’s
second compilation CD and contains material from the “Electric Women,” “No
Fixed Destination,” and “Ultra Rat albums that weren’t included in the
first compilation, “The Crown Jewels” – released in 1995.
The disc also has tracks from the CD’s “Triple Play” and “Feast
Or Famine” that were recorded after 1995 and the
clever pop rocker “Don’t Call Me Denis”, recorded in July 2000.
An extra added attraction comes in the form of four live cuts (“My New
Infatuation,” “Leaving Love Behind,” “Sweet Virgin Blues,” and
“Electric Women”) recorded at a concert with the Rascals in February 1988
and features the solid guitar work of Dave McGowan; an extremely tight rhythm
section comprised of bassist Mark Brinkerhoff and drummer Danny Thomas; Gary
Luebbert’s underrated rhythm guitar and back up vocals; and, of course, the
man himself on keyboards and lead vocals. Columbia
icon, Pete Szkolka, sat in with the band that night and added some very tasty
keyboard licks. “Pyrrhic
Victories” was released in December 2001. |
