Editorial Reviews
The third and last of the Flamin' Groovies late-'70s albums for Sire, Jumpin' in the Night storms out of the gate with the title song, a top-shelf rocker that brings the muscle of the Flamingo-era lineup of the Groovies to the more style-conscious British Invasion sonics of Cyril Jordan's version. Though Jumpin' in the Night never rocks that hard or that well again, it does sound decidedly tighter and tougher than 1978's Flamin' Groovies Now, and guitarist Mike Wilhelm, a new addition to the Now lineup, is much better integrated into their wall of guitars, with the Groovies sounding more solid than they did a year before. But while Jumpin' in the Night finds the Flamin' Groovies sounding better than ever, the material unfortunately let's them down. It's no wonder why the Flamin' Groovies loved the Byrds - both were American bands who fell in love with the sounds of British rock and crafted their own variation on the style - but three Byrds covers on this album is about two too many (especially given how clunky David Wright's drumming sounds on "5D"), and though having the Groovies tackle "Absolutely Sweet Marie" and "Please Please Me" sounds good on paper, the audible results are a bit underwhelming. (On the other hand, their cover of "Werewolves of London" is better than anyone had a right to expect.) The production and engineering by Roger Bechirian is crisp and flattering to the guitars, but lacks the resonance of Dave Edmunds' more layered approach on Shake Some Action and Now. A great band, the Flamin' Groovies often seemed to have a hard time reconciling their best qualities with the record-making process, and Jumpin' in the Night is probably the best example of this dilemma, though it has more than enough worthwhile moments to compensate.

For some reason, I've always got the vibe that this record was the least respected of the three Sire LPs and has sadly been kind of forgotten in general. When it received mention I've even heard some deride it as an LP with too many covers to even really be considered a F. GROOVIES record. This is simply ludicrous (especially when one considers how many cover tunes are on "Now"). Yes, there are covers on this LP (just as there are covers on nearly every other F. GROOVIES LP). The 13 track "Jumpin' In The Night" LP has 5 cover tunes on it (in addition to 8 of the finest tracks in the F. GROOVIES catalog, certainly of the Sire-era). One need only listen to the first three tracks on this LP (in my opinion maybe the three strongest opening tracks of ANY F. GROOVIES LP to recognize the level of quality of the GROOVIES-penned tracks. But as for those oft-criticized covers. There's a cover of "Down Down Down" (from Dave Edmunds '72 LP, penned by Trevor Burton who was previously a member of The Move), a very GROOVIE take on Warren Zevon's "Werewolves Of London" (off his '78 "Excitable Boy" LP, one of the greatest LPs in American rock history in my 'umble opinion), the Lennon/McCartney-penned "Please Please Me", Bob Dylan's "Absolutely Sweet Marie", and an awesome take on The Byrds' "Lady Friend" (penned by David Crosby in '67).
But the most fascinating thing about "Jumpin' In The Night" is exactly how perfectly the five cover tunes fit in with the eight mindblowing FLAMIN' GROOVIES tracks. Much of this has to do (in my opinion) with the production of the album, which is simply superb, as well as the consistency of the F. GROOVIES-penned tracks, and finally, the sequence of the album. From the opening chords of the title-track through the final track (The Byrds' "Lady Friend") there's a continuity of sound and style which at times is not always as evident on other F. GROOVIES releases. Yes, one could argue that stylistically the first three tracks (the perfect opener "Jumpin' In The Night", the truly awesome "Next One Crying", and the power-pop masterwork "First Plane Home") as well as a few others have a bit of a more "modern" (circa '79) power-pop style than some of the latter tracks, but I disagree.
Quite simply I think "Jumpin' In The Night" is a flat-out masterpiece of the highest order and deserves far more attention (not simply amongst F. GROOVIES fans, but amongst all fans of pure rock & roll played with energy and edge) and a reassessment historically. At minimum, if you haven't heard it before (or recently), you must hear the first three tracks just to get a feel for why THE FLAMIN' GROOVIES remained relevant for over 3 decades....It's well worth your time!!! If you are a fan of classic power pop with a 60's garage rock edge to it you will love this album. As far as I'm concerned, "Jumpin' In The Night" is nothing short of a masterpiece and will always be my favorite FLAMIN' GROOVIES album....
The first Sire album, "Shake Some Action", was characterized by fine original songwriting mixed with some solid cover version and with Edmunds’ fine feeling for pure clear sound, and the album has become a power-pop classic. The sequel "Now" suffered a bit from more uneven songwriting, but it was still a fine album in the same vein of its predecessor. The same thing can be said about this album. Fine sound and somewhat uneven original songwriting but otherwise a solid album that easily measures up to "Now."
Group members Cyril Jordan and Chris Wilson are, like on the previous two albums, behind the original songs. As a songwriting team they are distinguished with catchy tunes that bear clear signs of inspiration from The Beatles and The Byrds. Six songs the duo contributed to this album, and with fine songs like "Yes I Am", "Tell Me Again" and "First Plane Home" they present themselves from their strongest side. The other three are song solid enough, but less significant.
Among the cover songs the two Byrds songs "5D" and "Lady Friend" are really good. Especially the latter is by the group given an interpretation that actually makes it more immediately catchy than The Byrds themselves.
Also the Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown" and Dylan's "Absolutely Sweet Marie" are given fine treatments.
Too bad that the group more or less disappeared from the limelight after this album and that it would take eight years before the next album "One Night Stand" was released in 1987.
Top reviews from other countries
The group has in Cyril Jordan and Chris Wilson a couple of very capable songwriters, but they have never been too fine not to give cover versions of some of their inspirators’ songs.
This also applies to "Jumping in the Night", where there has been room for three Byrds tracks, "It Won't Be Wrong", "5D" and "Lady Friend". "Please, Please Me" is taken from The Beatles, while "Abolutely Sweet Marie" and "Werewolves of London" are borrowed from Bob Dylan and Warren Zevon respectively. The group are usually very true to the originals, but like to give the songs a new, unpretentious energy.
Six tracks are Jordan/Wilson originals; and they are all really nice with lots of ringing guitar and catchy melodies. Favorites are "Tell Me Again", "First Plane Home" and "Yes, I Am".
The three Byrds cover versions are very strong; not least David Crosby's "Lady Friend". The group's almost punk version of "Abolutely Sweet Marie" is also really nice. The weakest number is another cover version, namely Trevor Burton's "Down Down Down".
"Jumping in the Night" was the last of three albums the group released on Sire Records in the 1970’s; unfortunately, because in the following years there was some distance between their albums, and they to some extend slipped into oblivion. Their latest album release, "Fantastic Plastic" was released in 2017; and although the voices may sound a bit worn, the energy and power pop approach is intact.
