Description
WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST reached #6 in April 1980 and shows a band progressing towards their eventual peak. And The Cradle Will Rock is one of the albums two radio staples, along with Everybody Wants Some. These two anthems set the stage for one hell of a rock & roll party album. Fools, a relatively obscure VH tune, features thumping rhythm, the piercing background vocals of bassist Michael Anthony and some David Lee Roth scatting at the end. Roth declares Im takin whiskey to the party tonight and Im lookin for somebody to squeeze in Romeo Delight. Preferring sneaky licks and heavy riffs, Eddie Van Halen does fit some excellent acoustic work into Could This Be Magic and In A Simple Rhyme. WACF shows a hungry, talented rock band delivering the goods. Longtime producer Ted Templeman helps the band achieve their signature sound, producing a fantastic album.
