The follow up to Aimee Mann’s original band ‘Til Tuesday’s debut (which had the new-wavy hit “Voices Carry”). A very brave record in that the guys came out folky, when all they had to do was stick with the sleek pop of the day and cash the checks. Showed that Mann had the guts to stick around as an artist – even if, yes, they never had another hit. Nick’s Picks: “Coming Up Close,” “What About Love,” “David Denies,” “Lover’s Day.”
