THE HUDSON BROTHERS - Ba-Fa, Rocket PIG-2169 (MCA). Good set of fun rock and roll songs from the three brothers, with influences showing strongly from the Beach Boys, Bee Gees and other mid-60s British Groups. Even a classical cut included, but the main point this group is stressing is fun - and that's something there's all too little of in rock these days. Best cuts: "Spin The Wheel (With the Girl You Love)," "Lonely School Year," "Playmate," "Rendezvous."
