SMOKING POPES
Live (Double Music)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

Typical rock'n'roll story: lead singer and song-writer Josh Caterer adopts the Hari Krishna life, leaving a potent pop band on the cusp of something big. Unfortunately this one may not have an Annie Lennox style, happily-ever-after comeback plot line. Drummer Mike Felumlee decided for one last farewell with this thorough live document. Twenty-two solid tracks show a chemistry only brothers could achieve (Eli on guitar and Matt on bass). The Popes really did have something special. Adios, and look for Josh at an airport near you.
