Who is D.L. Byron? I know he wrote a single for Pat Benatar (the massive “Shadows of the Night) but this record is something I’ve never heard of. It’s produced by Jimmy Iovine and, you kn ow what?
It’s damned good.
He also wrote a memoir. But…who didn’t?
And he runs his own label…which is to put out his own music.
He sounds like Elvis Costello at times. But his music is really edgy and tight. G.E. Smith comes to mind. And Warren Zevon.
Side one is a banger and bop after banger and bop.
What happens when you flip this shit over?
It’s a freaking party. This is like hearing The Jags for the first time. Just another winner for 1980
