Wooden Foot Cops on the Highway, the Woodentops' second album, came out on Rough Trade in 1988 as the follow-up to Giant. Rolo McGinty still led from the front on guitar and lead vocals, with Simon Mawby on guitar, Frank DeFreitas on bass, Benny Staples on drums and Anne Stephenson now on keyboards.
It's a record that keeps its feet moving, all nervy rhythm and restless momentum, the sound of a band that would rather push forward than sit still. "Stop This Car" and "You Make Me Feel" were the tracks that made it onto the countdowns, and at home the album reached 48 on the UK albums chart, hanging on for 2 weeks.
