Northern Express – Green Blimp CD Review

October 1, 2010

Everyone who remembers “Girls,” raise your hand. The MTV favorite should have been much more than just a moderate hit in the mid-80s. Twilley’s power pop has toughened a bit in the intervening years, and if Green Blimp isn’t chock full of hits, it’s certainly more than just a pleasant listen. Here he’s helped out by original Dwight Twilley Band guitarist Bill Pitcock IV, and gets some vocal assistance from Susan Cowsill. While he’s not nostalgic, Twilley is certainly comfortable writing and singing songs that would be fit easily in any decade from the 70s to today.
