Naugahyde Rock : Check List ****<i> Great Balls of Fire</i> ***<i> Good Vibrations</i> **<i> Maybe Baby</i> *<i> Running on Empty </i>

*** THE DYNATONES. “Shameless.” Warner Bros. Direct from the friendly confines of Loucye’s Orbit Room--actually the 415 area code--come the Dynatones, a six-man band of blue-eyed soul brothers throwin’ down on everythang from such sharp-creased, uptown sounds as the shimmery, summery “Old Habits Die Hard” to a riotous, Latin-tinged rendition of the Contours’ classic rave-up “Shake Sherrie” to obscuro numbers from the Ann Peebles and Sly Johnson catalogues. Meanwild, “Take the Heat” sounds like a song in search of a “Miami Vice” episode, lead vocalist C.C. Miller does a J-O-B on the Steve Cropper-composed ballad “Lean Your Love On Me” and the frostiest li’l band this side of Birdland puts on its hot pants and alligator boogaloos down Funky Broadway in a gassed-back, better-git-ta-steppin’ arrangement of Willy DeVille’s “Italian Shoes” that’s guaranteed to wear the shine off dance floors from Bambi’s Club G-Spot to the Zircon Lounge. Smell the Naugahyde.
