Gravy Train is the second EP by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus and was released by Hoodoo Gurus/Sony in November 2014. This EP includes three tracks not included on their debut studio album as well as a re-recording of their debut single.[1]

Background and release

Dave Faulkner commented: "So many songs lost to mankind forever, perhaps for the best. Three songs, however, always stood out as being short-changed by the restrictions of the vinyl L.P. format, 'Too Bad, She's Bad', 'I Love a Mystery' and 'Voodoo You'... I've always felt they would have held their own alongside their more celebrated siblings on Stoneage Romeos".[2] Faulkner added "When we got together in Sydney to rehearse for Splendour we took the opportunity to record the Gravy Train EP. Each line-up of the band was given its own track though the current, most long-lasting version of the band only appears as part of the all-in version of 'Leilani 2000', the Gurus’ first single and still one of the band's signature songs, this time featuring all eight current and ex-Gurus. The most amazing thing to me was how each re-grouped version of the Hoodoo Gurus captured the sound and spirit they had back in the day."[2]

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings

Ross Clelland from The Music said "From the tom-tom clatter of 'Too Bad, She's Bad', another couple of remade Stoneage Romeos outtakes from back when, to a magnificently chaotic big jungle rumble take on the eternal 'Leilani 2000' – with all eight past and present Gurus aboard – appreciate again what a great singer and songwriter is Dave Faulkner. And the Hoodoo Gurus as a brand name that – unlike a number of their contemporaries – honour their name and still do the business."[3]
