Don't know how many greatest hits packages this makes for The Money Man, but here's the latest one. All of the toonz you'd wanna hear from a one-time NYPD fashion model are handcuffed on the runway. "Think I'm In Love" is a driving pop song worthy of comparison to Rick Springfield's finest moments. "Take Me Home Tonight" benefits from Ronnie Spector's guest vocal turn ("Be my little baby..."). "Baby Hold On" has a deep, repetitive hook that was, if I'm not mistaken, sampled by a now-forgotten rapper in the early '90s. "Two Tickets To Paradise" sounds refreshing, whether you're in the Bahamas or Birmingham. Rarer coins like "Wanna Be A Rock & Roll Star"
(more Montrose, less McGuinn) and "Gimme Some Water" (searches low and high a la The Who's "Seeker") are in equally mint condition.
For well-crafted AOR, Money talks. The bullshit has gone for a walk.
