Teenage Head is a retro album. The music is garage rock, but that classification is probably due to the album not being released on a major label. The style is most definitely rock. While many bands have been gone back to playing rock and roll, it's more like a revved up or idealized kind of rock and roll.
This album comes closer to the rock and roll of the 1950s. It also comes the closest to channeling Don Van Vliet who himself was channeling Howlin' Wolf. Anyway, it's curious to hear so many bands going back to their roots, as it were, but not really going back to the pure blues so much.
The album is excellent. It's refreshing to hear some original rock and roll songs. Of course, there's nothing groundbreaking at all going on. So, it's certainly worth listening to. I'm not sure it needs to be on the 1001 Albums list, though. If the list serves to indicate changes in musical trends, then this album might deserve a spot since this album is an excellent example of a resurgence in rock and roll.
All the songs on this album are good. The stand outs are High Flyin' Baby, City Lights, Teenage Head, 32–20, Evil Hearted Ada, Doctor Boogie and Whisky Woman.
