This is another one of those former major label bands but this one is a little more depressing. Greg Strzempka and his Raging Slab crew finally make it onto Rick Rubin's almighty Def American label and releases their "Dynamite Monster Booge Concert" (1993). In 1995 they deliver a new album to Rubin but he rejects it and tells them to try again. The next year they come back to Rubin with "Sing Monkey Sing" and the label releases it but without any support whatsoever. So we don't hear from Greg Strzempka until after 2000 which is when their contract expired. Now free to do what they want (the way it should be) the band is back with The Dealer, a hazy rump bustin' affair that rocks like they have never rocked before. Any fan of heavy rock will get off on this album. They pick up where they left off with their awesome Southern-rock boogie sound. They tip their hats to the 70's hard rock era and keep on truckin'.
