The Morning After was the follow up album from the heavy rock band fronted by guitarist John Geils. They began as a blues/R & B band but soon moved to a more mainstream rock sound. (US:64)
“Very similar album to the Geils debut with lots of high energy R & B and some searing blues. Very much music for the urban culture of the 1970s.”
“The Morning After follows the same format as the band's debut. An incredibly tight, hard rocking, rhythm and blues collective with very little quality material. I love the simplicity of J. Geils and Peter Wolf has an amazing voice, but these guys can't seem to write anything worth remembering.”
“This is a great party album. The J Geils Band offered an incredible amount of energy on this album and it is one that will make you feel happy.”
“The early material is the rawest bluesiest stuff out there and definitely contains some of their greatest work. My favourite is the last track which is so fast and incredible you will be stupefied in total amazement upon hearing it for the first time.”
“A studio rock and blues showcase, with a heavy emphasis on keeping it sleazy and raw. I like to spin side two first, with Lookin For A Love, the bands first big single heading it off, making its way into the ballad but gritty Cry One More Time. Each one is a solid slice of a rock band giving us a great show.”
“It opens with the catchy R & B of I Don't Need You No More, followed by the excellent, harp-driven instrumental Whammer Jammer. Even though this is hardly innovative music, the J. Geils Band makes it all sound fresh and energetic.”
"The Morning After is their second studio release and shows a band in firm control of their sound and direction. It is a delight hearing Peter Wolf's vocals and J. Geil's restrained guitar, which goes right through you on Cry One More Time."
