Witchdoctor (The Sidewinders)

The Sidewinders' 1989 album Witchdoctor produced the modern rock hit of the same name. The album isn't consistent, but at its high points, it demonstrates just what was good about alternative rock radio during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Highlights for me include the hit "Witchdoctor," "Love '88," and an interesting take on Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man." While I wouldn't say this offering from the Arizona band is a must-own, it does make a nice addition to the collections of those who enjoy college rock.

Tracks:
1. Witchdoctor
2. Cigarette
3. Bad, Crazy Sun
4. Love '88
5. Solitary Man
6. What Am I Supposed to Do?
7. Tears Like Flesh
8. Before Our Time
9. What She Said
10. Worlds Apart
