Mama's Boys - Mamas Boys
Review by Shari Simpson
Mama's Boys, the Irish rock band, released their self-titled album "Mamas Boys" in 1984. The album featured the band's signature hard rock sound and showcased their impressive musicianship. The album's opening track, "Needle in the Groove," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its fast-paced guitar riffs and powerful vocals. Other standout tracks include "Run," "Hard 'N' Loud," and "Straight Forward, No Looking Back."
The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument clearly defined and the vocals front and center. The band's guitar work is particularly impressive, with intricate solos and memorable riffs throughout the album. The rhythm section also shines, with tight drumming and bass lines that keep the songs driving forward.

I still get sad listening to MAMA'S BOY'S. My cousin Kevin used to pal around with Tommy when the lads lived in a bungalow in Hartstown, Blanchardstown, in Dublin, Ireland. This is how i got to know Tommy sure he even came round to our house around 1983-1984. Tommy was very funny, honest, and an all round good person. I was lucky enough to go to a few gigs and for me a 13-14 year old i was hooked on their music. I will always remember my friend. . R. I. P me ole pal Tommy. Still missing you.....Dave
Have this on vinyl. A seriously kick ass band.
