Red Hot Chili Peppers
True Men Don t Kill Coyotes
Baby Appeal
Green Heaven
K. Brown (5 out of 5 stars) This album is their first, and one of their finest. This is a very different Red Hot Chili Peppers than their present day music, but every bit as good. Twenty years after its release, it holds up powerfully. If you have never heard True Men Don t Kill Coyotes, you are missing one of the finest Hollywood/Southern California anthems ever written. Pop? Rap? Rock? I honestly think there is no way to properly classify this song, it s the perfect tune to announce the rival of the Chili Peppers, and pretty much personifies their offbeat charge into the music world. You can find the abovementioned song on one of their Best Of albums, but the rest of the songs on this CD are too good to pass off. The mightiest tracks are 1 through 6, with Buckle Down and the overdrive-paced Get Up and Jump stealing the show. The diversity of the songs on these first six tracks is impressive.
