[CRAZY-HORSE]

VIOLENT FEMMES "the blind leading the naked" cd,1986.

third album from the Femmes,
has a more commercially sounding sound than their previous two releases,probably because it was produced by Talking Heads Jerry Harrison.
quite mellow and melodic by their standards, some nice horn work on it also especially in the best track "i held her in my arms".
the only dissapointment IMO on this is their cover of T-Rex's 'children of the revolution'.
allmusic rate this one a converted 2.4, not far off my score,and if not for that stupid cover on it,probably would be up there with a love score.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM.
