I have always felt that some (much?) of his stuff was just crude to be crude, but in my humble opinion he wrote some truly brilliant songs capturing the seamy and somewhat demented side of American life. He also had outstanding bands and brought tremendous manic energy to his performances. A mythology grew up around this Yale grad turned crazed rock pied piper even before his death in the 90's attributed to chronic "poor lifestyle choices". For me "Zoom" contains the best song writing achieved by Root, and the performances that back up these songs are first rate and hard driving. The first song, "WWIII", is still as current today as when he penned it in the seventies, and I can't sit still when it is playing. "Loneliest Room in the World" is a tender croon, and "Motel of Love" is an hilarious ballad about a man and his wife unwittingly checking into a motel that caters to the sexually adventurous, let's say. Anyway, this remaster of "Zoom" is a gift to that small but dedicated army of ROOT fans out there , particularly those that experienced the full ROOT onslaught in the DC area in the mid Seventies. Thanks to ROOT's long time collaborators Bob Greenlee and Ernie Lancaster for bringing this back!    Related Torrents
