of the three hothouse flower titles that i've owned, this first one seems to have the most passionate music. i keep lending out my CD of "People" out to my friends and it never comes back!
an earlier review compares the music lyrics with that of bruce springsteen, and it's absoultely true, and if you love the lyrics of natalie merchant, tracy chapman and springsteen, take this cd home with you. i'm buying two copies, so the next one i lend out...
Should it surprise anyone that the best American sixties soul music of 1989 doesn't come from American, but from the Irish band Hothouse Flowers? Well, considering Ireland is the home of Van Morrison and U2, while we (America) got stuck with Mariah Carey, it doesn't shock me a bit.
Lead singer Liam O' Maonlai reminds me of Wilson Pickett, Joe Cocker and Leon Russell. He sings with so much energy that I expected him to explode at any minute. On `I'm Sorry,` `Yes I Was' and `Feet On The Ground,' the band takes a hardcore soul stance, turns it inside out, upside down, them rocks it harder than Jerry Lee Lewis pounds the piano. `If You Go' and `Ballad Of Katie' remind me of Bruce Springsteen - maybe it's the mysterious edge-of-town saxophone work, or perhaps the narrative introductions. And the back-up girls (I'm Sorry, Feet On The Ground) pour out the sweetest soul harmonies. People is a sweaty, uplifting soul rocker.
The song that really sticks out on this album is Don't Go for those that know what the Eurovision is will remember a great performance by the Flowers and the finale was this. O'Maolai puts some great songs together I'm Sorry and Love Don't work this way are songs that will get stuck in your head and keep you singing all day. An excellent album well worth having.

Ireland's Hothouse Flowers made a name for itself during the late '80s and early '90s with a passionate, bombastic fusion of rock & roll with the rootsy sounds of Irish folk and American gospel. The group was founded as a Dublin street-performance act called the Incomparable Benzini Brothers by schoolmates Liam O'Maonlai (vocals, keyboards) and Fiachna O'Broainain (guitar), the former of whom had played in My Bloody Valentine forerunner Congress. After winning the Street Entertainers of the Year award in 1985, the Incomparable Benzini Brothers added bassist Peter O'Toole, saxophonist Leo Barnes, and drummer Jerry Fehily and changed their name to Hothouse Flowers. The group received a glowing write-up in Rolling Stone before even landing a record deal, but that drawback was rectified when U2's Bono saw them performing on a late-night television show. A single on U2's label Mother got Hothouse Flowers signed to PolyGram. Their 1988 debut, People, cruised to the top of the Irish charts and peaked at number two in Britain. Their follow-ups, Home and Songs From the Rain, continued their success, but the band has never been able to break through in America to anything beyond cult status. Hothouse Flowers has been quiet since 1993; several members have guested on other artists' albums.
