Review: Eddie Money "Love and Money"


AOR master Edward Joseph Mahoney (Eddie Money) has quietly been churning out records since his huge comeback in the 80s. We've already covered the early 90s effort, "Right Here" and his shot at the "unplugged" bandwagon (read it here), and now we have 1995's "Love and Money".

I was pleasantly surprised by "Right Here" so was excited to get "Love and Money" on a swap for cheap. The record failed to chart and produced no Top 100 singles, and I hate to to say it, but I'm not surprised. This record is really flat and one of the weakest collection of songs the "Money Man" has ever brought to the table. Eddie really isn't rocking much on this one, there is no meat to the tracks, and the ballads are just boring. Overall, I had to struggle and compromise just to find 3 tracks worthy for (probably temporary) import onto the iPOD. Sorry Eddie, but this record left me feeling "short-changed".

iPOD-worthy: 1, 6, 7
