Sweet was one of the most popular bands for a stretch in the 1970’s. They played fun, party time rock n’ roll. The song “Ballroom Blitz” has cemented their place in music history. The band, now featuring only one original member, Steve Priest, the bass player, is more of a tribute band then the actual band Sweet. They are, however, a damn good band and are able to recreate the sounds and rock out the songs with a similar style and feel to the original. Guitarist Stewart Smith has fun with the pop oriented rock and the rest of the group follows along.

One has the feeling that there is a lot of smiles in the crowd when Sweet plays live, as the band deliver hits. “Action,” “Fox on the Run,” “Love is Like Oxygen,” “Little Willy,” “A.C.D.C.” and “Ballroom Blitz” are all included as are other fan favorites including “Wig Wam Bam” and “Hell Raiser.”

While this is not THE Sweet that we grew up with, you do get the founding bass player, a bunch of talented musicians and a collection of great tunes that will have you cranking this CD up loud in no time.
