"By 1977, the year of Kansas City Slickers release, most bands had happily ensconced themselves in one niche or another--one was either punk or power pop or new wave or --- (fill in the trend of your choice), but The Leopards fell into no such handy category. Kansas City Slickers was unique for its time--certainly no other record of its day sounds remotely like it--and remains so today. Back then its uniqueness baffled critics who, in the few places where the album was actually reviewed, did little more than point to the album's Kinks influence. While the influence of The Kinks, The Beach Boys, The Easybeats and other '60s groups is indeed evident on the album, such a superficial assessment does not begin to do justice to the cornucopia of sound on Kansas City Slickers. Herein rock n' roll meets ragtime, old Hollywood musicals and other forms of early 20th century American music, a delightfully original melange you will not taste elsewhere."
