That's right!There's Too Many "Best Hits Collections" of these guys.This is a pretty good album, the sound is kind of dated in places but there are enough strong tracks to elevate it past that.Published on December 5, 2004 by R.That 80s groove
I hadn't listened to this one in years, but the Hooters' debut album is one of those rare "what ever happened to those guys?Nervous Night by The Hooters is one of my all time favorite albums.Philly rocks with the Hooters
