It now appears that the Green one may have been right or at least read the minds of some executives at Epic/Legacy.
On March 4th, Epic/Legacy will release a two-CD set called �Mullet Rock�. The tagline they are using for the CD is simple, "Play it loud, wear it proud.�
The 35-song collection will feature rock anthems from the 70�s and 80�s when Mullet�s reigned supreme.
The humorous liner notes are said to point out that, "It's not just a hairstyle, it's a lifestyle." The liner notes go on to name some of the highest profile musical mullets of the past including Journey's Steve Perry, Loverboy�s Mike Reno, and REO Speedwagon's Kevin Cronin. Curiously absent from the collection is material from one of the best selling groups that sported a frontman with a Mullet during their heyday, the one and only Def Leppard.
Despite the absence of �Pour Some Sugar On Me,� the two disc set does contain some of the best known rock anthems from the 70�s and 80�s, including Mountain�s �Mississippi Queen,� Deep Purple�s �Smoke on Water,� Foreigner�s �Hot Blooded,� and Foghat�s �Slow Ride�. That�s just the first four songs!
So get your Flowbee�s ® ready for the triumphant return of the Mullet!
