Eddie Money: Wanna Go Back : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone

Album Reviews

Money, who started as a New York cop moonlighting in bar bands, became a likable meathead of a rock star in the Eighties. Now he's returned to his musical roots (although he apparently hasn't reclaimed the badge) with a dozen cover versions of hoary rock crowd-pleasers, from "Land of 1000 Dances" to "Build Me Up Buttercup." Money's liner notes feature lots of exclamation points ("A real tear-jerker! Ray Charles is so cool!"); alas, Money brings nothing to these songs except enthusiasm.

Generally, when there is a huge disparity between the Rolling Stone review and a fan's review, the truth lies somewhere in between; but, not in this case. I've heard better at Harrah's Casino.

Eddie Money's flavor on these tunes from his youth continue to solidify his fan base 30 years after his debut.

Eddie's versions of these oldies hits are tastefully and wonderfully done. He added his own signature style to these songs. Jessica does a terrific job on vocals Randy does a wonderful job of producing this compilation of hits. Something all generations of fans would enjoy. One more for the cd collection from hard working Eddie Money.
