Musically, 'Loco' is a regression further into the murk of '70s soul-funk where the wah-wah was king and striking a vibraphone was considered an act of foreplay. From the romantic ('She's My Friend', 'Swashbucklin' In Brooklyn', 'Half A Block') to the plain randy ('My Sin', er, 'Dickholder'), Huey cruises his furrow as Grandmaster Flash doing top grade white lines with consumate ease. The few stylistic detours are inadvisable - 'Where The Bums Go''s riff-heavy attempt to be Rocket From The Spliff is novelty while 'Kill The Bad Guy' is frankly appaling, essentially The Sugarhill Gang loading up on poppers and slowly dismembering the Big Bopper. They steer a thoroughly pleasant, tongue-stapled-into-cheek loungecore album worryingly close to being The Barron Knights for bad guys, but even these suit the spirit of 'Loco': a powdered pop pina colada with a double shot of pastiche. Run, Huey, run.
