Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - 88 (1988) LP Vinyl-Rip

One of Jonathan Richman's better '80s efforts, and certainly one of the most basic, performed in an acoustic trio format. It's nonetheless quite rocking, with heavy debts to doo wop and Bo Diddley rhythms, and a jolly (though not sappy) summertime campfire feel. Some of his best uptempo tunes are here, including "I Love Hot Nights," "California Desert Party," and "Gail Loves Me." (Allmusic.com)

  3. Listening to it right now. Wangity-dangity-dangy, new kind of neighborhood, oh-woh, it was a new kind of neighborhood. Incredible album ... so sincere, and nobody can accuse Mr. Richman of not doing exactly what he wants to do as an artist, and exactly what is most distinctively his. Wangity-dangity-dangy.
