...first Halper didn't want to accept her doctor's diagnosis: repetitive strain injury (RSI) caused by too many long hours at the word processor. Neither did the company, which she says accused her of exaggerating her symptoms to get out of work. According to Halper, RCA managers demanded that she withdraw a workers' compensation claim and tell her caseworker that the injury wasn't job related after all. When she refused, says Halper, they began a campaign of intimidation and harassment. They moved her into a smaller office. They excluded her from meetings. They asked her to take...
Bonnie Halper was banging out advertising and publicity copy for RCA Records 2 1/2 years ago when she felt a tingling in her right pinky. Not knowing what caused it, Halper kept right on typing. Within half an hour her right hand and arm were numb.

The album kicks off with the high-voltage Pincushion and never lets up. From the syncopated stomp of Fuzzbox Voodoo to the scrawl of searing guitar notes on Cherry Red, the trio, led by Gibbons' supple guitar work, rocks with earnest, no-frills intensity that harks back to ZZ Top's first hit, La Grange...
