The greatest song that Foreigner never wrote,
Ah! Leah! is classic rock at its most sublime and FM radio ready. But hold on...Donnie Iris?! Who the hell is that? I know the song, but I don't know that name. Is he the dork on the album cover? (That's all the same guy in various states of undress.) I'm getting mixed signals. Is this guy for real? Was
Ah! Leah! all a ruse to get me to buy some kind of ur-Weird Al record? I, for one, wasn't sure.
But I was soon put at ease, gentle reader, for this is a great record! Quintessential classic rock flawlessly executed and recorded but unabashedly straddling the decade and embracing wholeheartedly the emerging new wave to produce a spunky and sparkly brew consisting of equal parts of both.
Eminently enjoyable. Recommended.
