Review - :
If {$Geno Washington} were still making records, he would probably sound a lot like {$the Zutons}. Then again, {$Dexys Midnight Runners}, who brought many pop fans' attention to the great soul man in the early '80s, are also forerunners of {$the Zutons}. {^Tired of Hanging Around} was the second album by the Liverpool band and was even more assured than the group's debut offering, {^Who Killed...... The Zutons}. Not that they had changed much -- they really didn't need to, for there was no one making music quite like {$the Zutons}, the voice of {$David McCabe} able to handle songs as diverse as {&"Secrets,"} which was a throwback to the sleazy early-'80s sound just before synth pop took over, and {&"Why Can't You Give Me Your Love?,"} the first single taken from the album, which also had a retro feel -- but going back even further to the 1960s garage rock bands. There was a little bit of everything here, including the powerful sax playing of {$Abi Harding} -- obvious on every track but not dominant -- and {$Boyan Chowdhury}'s guitar work, which was original and innovative (and would soon be missed, as he left the band not long afterwards). They unashamedly lifted the intro of {$Tears for Fears}' {&"Everybody Wants to Rule the World"} for their song {&"Valerie,"} but the song was so good that one could forgive them almost anything; indeed, {$Amy Winehouse} took the same song into the Top Ten for the second time within two years with a very different version. What a pity they released {^Tired of Hanging Around} in the same week as {$Shayne Ward}'s album; otherwise, there would have been some real music at the top of the charts. [This edition of {^Tired of Hanging Around} released in Japan included a bonus track.] ~ Sharon Mawer, All Music Guide
