Eddie Money
Can’t Hold Back
Genre: Rock
3.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Stranger in a Strange Land
Requisite 80s cover:
Isn’t a cover but, rather an interpolation. “Take Me Home Tonight” is an interpretation of “Be My Baby”. It’s co-written by Phil Spector, among others but not Money, and it features Ronnie Spector on vocals.
After listening to middling Huey Lewis, Corey Hart, Meat Loaf, here comes Eddie Money, an artist I really never quite understood. Is he a vocalist? A songwriter? A musician? Does he play anything? What does he do?
I’ve only heard sporadic Money stuff over the years and I never really heard the appeal. In a way he seems to have stepped out of the 70s singer/songwriter model but then again, he’s got kind of a terrible voice.
But, more power to him, he managed to keep his name and brand in the light for decades despite not being really interesting or relevant…ever.
