What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Cars frontman with his first solo effort. I think that the Cars had maxed out as a group and Ric could have written his own ticket, which he probably did. For me this was the wrong one. Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes was along for the ride. This is one of those albums that probably made me thankful for the punk movement. Just too techno for my taste. The opening for the leadoff track sums it up. With a split between tracks that were ok and tracks that downright sucked, it would be a no buy for me now. It did reach #28 in the states on the strength of the Cars name no doubt. Something To Grab For made the pop charts at #47. The clip for track #9 includes track 10. Can't believe both my best and worst are the only tracks to have no clip. Go figure.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Take A Walk

Best Track - Prove

you could show me all your photographs
you could have me hanging high
you could tell me about the mystery
hiding in your eyes
there's one to many reasons
why i should be with you
but i'll just be in season
just like you want me to
you don't have to prove a thing
pretty girl pretty girl
you could tell me secrets
that i would only keep
you can have your soup du jour
when you're fast asleep
when you turn me over
i won't waste your time
put on your precious makeup
you won't stand in line
i'm standing in your doorway
i know you never lock it
i won't try to walk away
with something in my pocket
everything you want to do
it easily gets done
even on a rainy day
you could pull the sun
