2008 digitally remastered reissue of this overlooked Rock gem from the man who made the mullet sexy. Everybody's Crazy, originally released in 1985, has been recognized as one of the greatest albums of it's kind, a record so full of melodic Rock goodness that it seems entirely implausible that it didn't propel him to fame and fortune on the spot. Sadly and utterly inexplicably the album failed to make any commercial impact, forcing him to re-evaluate his musical horizons, which, of course, resulted in a massively successful string of hit albums but in an entirely different and far more relaxed style. With musical support from the cream of the New York session world including Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick, Rainbow drummer Chuck Burgi, keyboardist Mark Mangold and various members of Kansas, Foreigner and Balance, Everybody's Crazy remains one of the most essential, if criminally ignored, AOR release of the 1980s. Rock Candy.
Operazione di recupero condotta dalla Rock Candy per rimettere in circolo un disco del Bolton del primo periodo, quello, per intenderci, orientato verso l'AOR. Ottima veste grafica, con un bel libretto con tante informazioni e foto, nel classico stile della suddetta label. Solo una piccola segnalazione: a mio giudizio il volume è stato alzato in maniera un po' eccessiva, appiattendo un pochino la dinamica generale, ma in questo caso non mi pare che il dato infici troppo la fruizione. Da avere.
Wow I cannot believe I’ve liked Michael Bolton for over 30 years and never knew about this album . This is in my opinion what he should of stuck with (rock) . He has an amazing voice and this has some great guitar riffs on it as well .
