Brinsley Schwarz frontman back with his 5th solo effort. Album reached #129 with no charting singles, at least in the U.S. Surely a disappointment after previous releases which may explain a shift in successive efforts, but that didn't work either. Nick's cult following would continue. Raging Eyes is the standout for me, and a nice live clip from American Bandstand. The strings in tracks #9 and #12 are nice. And I don't know what that stupid Tanque-Rae thing is.
