Strapped Live features songs from the first two studio albums, and several new songs. The production is very good, with clear definition of instruments.
New singer, Jack Ruby, was less dancehall-style than his predecessor, Coolie Ranx, and easily filled the void with his deep, baritone voice and stage charisma.
I like their final song, “Just Askin’,” a pretty, poppy, horn-driven, and upbeat number. The horns were pretty tight, but the performance lacked enthusiasm.
