Nightmares...and Other Tales From the Vinyl Jungle came out on Atlantic in 1974, the J. Geils Band's follow-up to Ladies Invited, with Bill Szymczyk producing. The Worcester, Massachusetts, outfit was still a tough, R&B-fed blues-rock band at heart, led by guitarist J. Geils, with Peter Wolf out front, Magic Dick blowing harmonica, Seth Justman on keyboards, Danny Klein on bass and Stephen Bladd on drums. Wolf and Justman wrote most of the originals, and the record hits with a hard-rock punch.
"Must of Got Lost" became one of their biggest hits, climbing to number 12 on the Hot 100 the following year, and "Detroit Breakdown" shows off the band's greasy, full-tilt drive. Hotline came next.
