by Cub Koda Although by 1998 the Untamed Youth were nothing more than a group that regrouped for the occasional reunion gig or semi-tour, this is their most perfectly realized album. Although the group's small-combo sound is still pretty well intact, leader Derek Dickerson stretches the musical boundaries further than previous outings, making this far more than your average one-riff retro album. For a band that seldom, if ever proffers their own material, there are five originals aboard this 14-track album. Dickerson brings us the instrumental &Lightnin' Louie,& &Full Blown 426 Hemi& and the quirky but very cool &Mace Has Got a Hot Rod Dart,& a '90s updating of the Jan and Dean &Schlock Rod& theme. But even more intriguing are the two vocal and songwriting efforts from bass player/resident wildman Steve Mace, &They Can't Call It Beer& (a rant against everything in the beer cooler that isn't Pabst Blue Ribbon) and &Where Did Kono Go?,& an ode to the bit player on Hawaii Five-O. There's still a lot of fun and irreverence on this disc, but there's a lot more music than previous outings to back it up. Think of this as the Youth's version of &Hit City '65& and it'll make perfect sense to you.
