This is where the group truly arrives, even though it took a year or more for the album to really break to the mainstream. Whatever the case, there are only nine tracks on this record and the first seven are tried and true pop gems. Only the last two fall short of that status - "You Crack Me Up" feels like the prank of the album, and "Honky Tonk Blues" is a cover of Hank Williams song (and not a good one) - which knocks the album down a peg. But otherwise, something magical and/or nefarious happened (depending on your point of view) and it was ordained from on high that Huey Lewis & The News create the near-flawless 80's pop-rock album.
