look out:
"Do yourselves a favor and check out "look out.", the 1997 release from One Fell Swoop.
This disc stands out for its lack of pretense, charming arrangements, clever (without being
over the top) lyrics, and an overall tone that just makes one feel good. Rarely do I listen to
a whole disc in one sitting.....this puppy didn't leave the machine until the whole family got
to sing along with "Seven Solid Days" and we had worn out the final verse of "Hairless
Chihuahua." (Note: the serious stuff on the disc works too!)"
