by Michael B. SmithThis time out, Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show decided to write most of their own material, providing lots of laughs and some pretty fun story songs. Monterey Jack is a 90-mph romp, and Roland the Roadie and Gertrude the Groupie is a very funny tale of life on the road with a rock band. On a more serious note, The Wonderful Soup Stone and Life Ain't Easy both paint colorful mental pictures. Collectors be on the lookout for a copy that includes a bonus 45 rpm recording of a radio interview with Ray Sawyer and Dennis Locorriere that is filled with laughs.
