---- + Release Note + -------------------------------------
In 1993 and 1994, most major labels were jumping on the
alternative rock bandwagon. They saw how many CDs Nirvana and
Pearl Jam were selling, and they wanted to cash in on a red-hot
trend (just as they had jumped on the pop-metal bandwagon in the
'80s and the disco bandwagon in the '70s). Atlantic was no
exception; in 1993 and 1994, the company was signing as many
alternative acts as it could get its hands on. But the Hatters
weren't one of them. While many of the other rock acts that
Atlantic was signing back then were alternative-oriented, the
Hatters were a throwback to the Allman Brothers and Traffic. The
Madcap Adventures of the Avocado Overload (which was the band's
first studio album and its second album overall) came out in
1994, but this bluesy, soul-tinged disc sounds like it could
have been recorded in the early '70s -- in fact, the long-haired
Hatters even dressed like a '70s band. Do retro tracks like "Sip
of Your Wine," "Bring That Wagon Round," and "Bad Side" sound
dated? Absolutely, but then, dated isn't necessarily a bad thing
if you have a high opinion of a particular era. The rock era
that the Hatters obviously identify with the most is the late
'60s and early '70s, and if listeners share their appreciation
of the classic recordings of the Allman Brothers and Traffic,
this CD is easy to enjoy. However, The Adventures of the Avocado
Overload isn't considered the band's most essential release --
most Hatters fans agree that 1993's Live Thunderchicken is their
strongest album. But if Live Thunderchicken is the best thing in
the Hatters' catalog, this pleasing (if derivative) effort runs
a close second.
