NRBQ never
had much commercial success in terms of selling either singles or albums, but
in their heyday they had a well-earned reputation as a great live band. I saw
them once, at Wolf Trap on a double bill with Los Lobos. I was surprised when
Los Lobos came out first, since they were certainly the more famous of the two,
but after NRBQ’s set I understood the reasoning; you really wouldn’t want to
have to follow these guys on stage. “Ridin’ In My Car” may be the greatest road
song of all time – if you have a convertible, be sure to listen on a gorgeous
summer day with the top down.
