The 1980 Listening Post - Denny Laine - Japanese Tears

Denny Laine - Japanese Tears 



1980 Housekeeping LISTENING POST DISCOVERY (YMMV EDITION)

Denny Laine

Japanese Tears

Genre: WTF

4.25 out of 5



Highlights:

Danger Zone

Say You Don’t Mind

Weep for Love


Requisite 80s Cover: “Go Now”. See below.


Paul McCartney gets busted, can’t tour with Wings so Wings player puts out a solo record. 


It’s…something. It’s a bit country. It’s a bit weirdo. It feels like a record that Ringo Starr would put out. “Go Now” is the kind of retro track that fits nicely on any of his LPs.


You can totally hear why McCartney hooked up with this guy in the first place. Denny’s got a fantastically weird brain. I wouldn’t mind visiting it some other time or again. 


This is all deep cuts. If you are looking for a single, there’s none here. But I fell under the charm of this very very 70s sounding curio.
