Jam - In the City .gif) By David Cantwell
Funneling the punk Spirit of '77 through the grooves of old Mod and
Motown records, Jam frontman Paul Weller created a sound and vision that
took Britain by storm but never made much noise in the USA. That's a shame
because at the band's best, as on this album's furious,
Who-meets-The-Pistols title track, The Jam played nothing less than great
rock and roll. Their explosive cover of "Slow Down" destroys The
Beatles', and "Non-stop Dancing," which sounds like a cover of
an old R&B hit but is actually a Weller original, has a charm and
desperate energy that more than makes up for its derivative qualities.
