![]() ![]() The title track has a confident swagger with power chords, great vocal melodies, the breathtaking use of strings and no small amount of magic from the under-rated Lyon, and the closing 'Call On Me' is as majestic a soulful ballad as you could hope for, again with a truly wonderful guitar solo. On the flip side 'Maybe I'm A Fool' was an attempt to repeat the success of 'Baby Hold On' and 'Love The Way You Love Me' did a similar job a little better, but it's the two tracks that bookend the album that are Money at his finest. Obviously for Fireworks readers I expect the former would be of most interest, the guitar-based 'Can't Keep A Good Man Down', 'Nightmare', 'Gimme Some Water' and 'Rock And Roll The Place' all demonstrating Money's knack of not just singing the songs, but living them, with Jimmy Lyon's fantastic guitar playing wrenching every ounce of emotion between Money's storytelling lyrics. Whilst the debut mixed everything up, the sophomore release had all the bluesy hard rockers on side one and the pop/R & B songs on the second side. Virtually the same band, producer and special guests consolidated Money's position with the successful 'Life For The Taking' in 1979, and this time out the different styles were even more pronounced. Other highlights were the autographical boogie of 'Wanna Be A Rock'N'Roll Star', the funky 'Got To Get Another Girl' and the Southern Rock stylings of 'Gamblin Man', and whilst a couple of the other tracks may be a little too removed from his rock roots, it was a varied and mature debut that put him firmly on the map. Featuring the Steve Miller Band rhythm section of Lonnie Turner and Gary Mallaber, session keyboard players Alan Pasqua and Randy Nichols, and his long-time friend Jimmy Lyon on scorching lead guitars, 'Eddie Money' was a hit right off the bat with the catchy, radio-friendly shuffle beat of 'Two Tickets To Paradise' and the poppy 'Baby Hold On' both scoring highly on the US singles chart. ![]() Scoring a record deal with Columbia, his 1977 Bruce Botnick-produced debut album showcased not only his blues-based rock influences but also his interest in Soul and R & B.
