MUSIC COLLECTOR NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD ALBUM / SINGLE:

Pretty dreadful selection of Rock Disco and ballads from the not really brothers and unfortunately named Skatt Bros. Only noteworthy for the classic "Walk The Night" which is only included in it's short version here. Not sure what Casablanca were thinking of really considering it's other output at the time unless they were hoping for a mock Village People.

Reader Comments on Skatt Bros.

I am looking for the CD 'Life OnThe Outpost' by The Skatt Brothers
Title Give Your Love to a Cowboyman
Posted Sep 25, 04 | 10:04 pm by valerie

The lyrics "Give your love to a cowboy man" are from the song "Life At The Outpost" by Skatt Bros. To my knowledge the song only was released on the "Strange Spirits" album. I'm kinda fond of it as Jerry Bonham used to play it at the Saloon way back when. Kinda stuck in my head as a result.

Anyone who likes "Walk The Night" might be interested to know it's just been used in a great remix by Divided Souls, called "Nightwalking" / "The Walk". On Azuli Records. It's good.

One weird album, even for Casablanca ...The point seems to have been a semi-closeted Village People, who mixed overtly homoerotic material such as "Walk The Night" (nihilistic, nearly brilliant, and still played on the gay circuit as of 2006) with barely disguised odes such as "Fear of Flying" (a song about fisting, of all things) and heterosexual lyrics ("Old Enough," about a teenaged former girlfirend, now a prostitute, who's "showing pink" in skin flicks). This part of the production sounds typical of co-producers Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison, who had a way of letting catchy hooks get out control on this and several other "underground" records that were part of the salt of early gay disco.


Who knows, maybe things were just that wide open in the late 70's that this mishmash didn't raise an eyebrow. But as Bernie says, the album dreadful, except, I'll insist, for "Walk The Night."

Just to let you know - Life at the Outpost was a hit single in Australia in 1980

Ifound that I personally liked Life at the Outpost most of the tracks on their album and the video clip that was done with it was very hot
