You Can’t Take Him Anywhere

‘You Can’t Take Him Anywhere’ strikes me as an important kind of record. Why? Because it’s the sound of a band finally arriving. FOTB have been getting into shape for a while now, in the form of some 50-odd gigs and a few singles. But this – THIS – is the business.
‘You Can’t Take Him Anywhere’ sounds like a soundtrack to a 1960s gangster movie set in the Isle of Dogs starring someone like Yul Brynner. In a sharp, sharp suit. You lazily flick over the telly one Sunday afternoon, and witness Yul being pursued by a gang comprising of Michael Caine, Anthony Newley and Cilla Black. Yul jumps onto a passing milk float and waves to the puffing, pursuing gang, lights a slim Panatella and rattles off into the sunrise. ‘You Can’t Take Him Anywhere’ starts as the credits roll and a collective shiver goes down our spines.
The flip, ‘Hey Buddy’, is another masterpiece, giving Bobby G the chance to drawl beboppily around a song with the chorus ‘Hey Buddy – I’m a Friend of the Bride’…
Yep, this is the sound of a band arriving. They’ve got the stagecraft, the look, the songs – and now the confidence. This is THEIR sound. Off they go.
