            2007 remaster and reissue with 11 bonus trax and
            16 page booklet. The Bongos had their moment for a
            few years between 1982-84, fans of The dB's and
            The Feelies need to listen up if they have not
            heard these guys and Drums Along The Hudson is the
            beginning of the story. "4 1/2 stars.. The Bongos
            were one of the most distinctive bands to come out
            of the briefly bustling Hoboken pop scene in the
            early Eighties -- Richard Barone's songs were
            gloriously hooky, but also forcefully propulsive
            enough to live up to the group's name (aided
            immeasurably by Rob Norris's agile bass and Frank
            Giannini's precise drumming), and Barone's guitar
            work managed to be melodic and oblique at the same
            time, carrying the tune while allowing room for
            his own sonic interjections which could be noisy
            or richly smooth at will. The Bongos were
            different enough from their contemporaries that
            Drums Along The Hudson has dated remarkable little
            since it was released in 1982, sounding less like
            "new wave" than a simply timeless example of
            smart, edgy pop. The joyous charge of the opening
            cut, "In The Congo", is pure glorious sugar rush,
            "The Bulrushes" is fraught with seductive mystery,
            "Three Wise Men" very nearly beats the Feelies at
            their own high-tension game, and "Glow In The
            Dark" is one of the most charmingly off-kilter
            love songs ever. (Norris's anti-television
            diatribe "Video Eyes" fares somewhat less well
            than the other tunes, but there's no arguing it's
            still timely.) Add in a T. Rex cover that's
            sensuous and almost funky and you get a minor
            masterpiece from the era of the skinny tie that's
            still bracing stuff today."
