The 1980 Listening Post - Moon Martin - Street Fever

Moon Martin - Street Fever


#212
1980 Housekeeping
Moon Martin
Street Fever
Genre: BoredRock
3.25 out of 5


Highlights:
Stranded

Honestly, this album seems like a collection of songs written by someone who is just a little laid back to really rock out the way he should want to. All the edges are sanded off. But it also acts like a harbinger of a stadium rock sound that’s around the corner. In fact, the best way I can describe it is if you merged late 70s AOR rock with Martin Briley but too the hooks away and were just left with unmemorable tunes. Shame, cuz this is the guy who wrote “Bad Case of Loving You” for Robert Palmer. I wish he had kept some of that energy for himself.
