'' is
Eddie Money's third album, released in 1980. It continued the distinctive early phase sound that began in 1977 with Money's debut. Perhaps the most listenable of all Money's albums, this set contains a variety of tunes that hold up well.
Jimmy Lyon's attractive
Guitar work is a key to standouts "''Trinidad''" and "''Million Dollar Girl''" the first and last tracks. Since this effort did not attain the radio airplay of the first album, it is not as well known to later fans, and is frequently harder to find.
Other notable album cuts include "''Lets Be Lovers Again''," an uncharacteristic (for Money) duet (with
Valerie Carter ), and "''Get a Move On''." There is a nice pop quality to this album that is not found on the next release, "''No Control''" which followed a couple of years later - though the latter was more of a commercial success. As always Money's vocals are excellent, and regardless of the instrumental style, give a consistency to all his efforts.
The song When You Took My Heart has money's classic touch through sadly the song is one of the few songs on this album that was not released on another album even though it is truly Eddie's greatest song.
