WILLIE ALEXANDER & THE CONFESSIONS—A Girl Like You (New Rose import):: Willie Loco, lest you forget, was an early trailblazer in the indie 45 field ("Mass Ave" b/w "Kerouac") as well as a spearhead figure in the whole Bosstown new wave/punk upheaval of '76-77. Over the years he's taken his fair share of knocks and, outside of Beantown, the boosts have been few and far between. A Girl Like You does have its flaws (like a weak second side and shaky covers of Otis and Jerry Lee), but the title cut and "Oh Daddy Oh" indisputably prove that he hasn't lost his ga-ga grip on life. Good to hear that Willie's still got some of the ol' boom-boom left in him. C.Z.
