    Sorry Lou, but this is not a good album. It has a couple of songs which actually are good, "Don't Hurt a Woman" being the standout song. But the album suffers of very 80's production that has not aged well. Throw in a funky tune or two, or some generic rocker, and you have a mediocre album. No complaints about the quality of the pressing though.

      Don't know what Lou was thinking with this album. Poorly designed, cheap looking sleeve with a bunch of forgettable songs on topics of little interest. Even compared to some of his other clunkers such as Rock n Roll Heart, this one must rate at very near the bottom of the pile. At least RNRH had a couple of great songs on it.
