Birmingham's Taylor and the Puffs (Taylor Hollingsworth) is sloppy and wild in the mode of The Stooges or The MC5 (or the Rolling Stones at their worst), which are likely models, yet this group's overall tone often recalls bands such as The Only Ones or The Heartbreakers. If he and his band played fast and hard instead of loose and slinky, they could even be The Saints. A lot of the sloppiness is salvaged, or accented, by white-hot guitar runs that take the sound into Johnny Thunders territory, by way of Billy Gibbons. Vocals, for the most part, remain in the more disturbing/intriguing range of Peter Perret and Nikki Sudden. Anyone who doesn't know who Sudden and Perret are should not be allowed near the stage where Hollingsworth's band performs; in fact, I'm calling security right now. None of these similarities could possibly be happy accidents. The three-piece, pin-stripe suit in the press photo hints that Hollingsworth has fully researched the Johnny Thunders persona; the guitar speaks for itself. More pleasing still is the band's tendency to open in a T. Rex kind of way, and then finish the same song as Foghat. An especially sleazy number, "You're Lost," is basically an extended—very extended—take on Alice Cooper's "Eighteen," although one wonders if the very young Hollingsworth knows it. The most hopeful quality is his affinity for the rawest segment of the T. Rex/David Bowie glam era. If he continues in that vein, it is imperative that the lad tune his instrument and choose his chords as though he were Mick Ronson. He's already got the Marc Bolan thing down, and Hollingsworth's excellent blues trappings need no more polishing, as that might dull the edge. Also essential is the addition of more catchy riffs and melodies, a Marc Bolan trademark if ever there was one.
