Guitars shine on hair-themed compilation

Having a mullet doesn't make you square. Maybe a redneck, but the guys at Legacy Records are out to prove that mulletheads know the value of guitar heroes and arena rock.\nFor a two-disc compilation based on a bad hairstyle, Mullets Rock! is a surpsingly fun listen. The rock/ power-pop favorites, including Cheap Trick, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foghat and The Allman Brothers Band. Ram Jam's testament to blow is included also with the wicked strut of "Black Betty."\nThe flow of Mullets Rock! is decent, with hard-hitters for the first five or so tracks of each disc. Both discs taper at points, but overall you'll not have to wait more than two tracks for something better. There's enough gritty growls and electric guitar to keep rock and rollers decently happy. \nThere are a few major faults, like choosing Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" instead of Hendrix's better version or a Vaughan original. The tracks are mostly radio favorites, rather than songs pulled from the vaults. For what it is, it's a compilation to turn louder as you roll down the windows and drive. Sometimes the simplest ideas work better than the most complex. So get ready to cut those sideburns, baby.
