What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Only three albums and this is the last, the only one I have. Very nice Chrissie Hynde sounding voice from Debora
Iyall. I guess the music is Pretenders sounding also, with sax on pretty much every track. Formed in '79 in San
Francisco, and split shortly after this album. Biggest hit was from this album (#35), and my favorite here, A Girl
In Trouble. Debora says that song is an answer to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. The abum was also the groups best
selling, reaching #68. Columbia dropped any support for the band while touring for this album. According to Debora,
the heads at the label demanded that she lose weight, and she refused, thus they abandoned the group. No, I'm not
kidding. Yes the girl was a bit on the heavy side. Ok fine, a bit more than a bit. Mama Cass type heavy. I guess
it's true that video killed the radio star. Iyall released a solo album in '86 which went nowhere. She then left
music for an art teaching career. The band has done a few reunion tours but nothing recorded.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Going To Neon

Best Track - A Girl In Trouble (Is A Temporary Thing)

She's got a face that shows what she knows
She's heard every line
Tenderly she talks on the phone
There's a way to walk that says
"Stay Away!", and a time
To go 'round the long way

A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing

There's a time when every girl learns, to use her head
Tears will be saved till they're better spent
There's no time for her to be afraid
So instead, she takes care of business
Keeps a cool head

A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing

She's got a face that shows what she knows
She's heard every line
Tenderly she talks on the phone
There's a way to walk that says
"Stay Away!", and a time
To go 'round the long way

A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
