Music Review: Eddie Money - We Are the '80s - Page 3

In 1988, Money's next album, Nothing to Lose, would produce "Walk On Water," and he would find himself back on the top of the charts. The pop tune with harmonious melodies and complimentary back up vocals give it a softer feel than most of his bluesy pop songs, yet it's not quite as soft as his ballads. Again, this shows the ability Money has to reinvent himself just enough with each album to keep himself fresh in the public's eye and ear.

The final track on Eddie Money's We Are The '80s, "Peace in Our Time" is attributed to his '89 album, Greatest Hits Sound of Money, and was one of the four new songs on the release. The most diverse of the songs on We Are the '80s, it shows a softer, thoughtful side of the singer-songwriter. The focus is turned from the usual topics of fast cars, pretty girls and romance to the serious and lofty question of peace.

After a short hiatus in the early '90s, Money returned to music and has continued to release albums and singles. His latest album was released earlier this year. He also continues to tour and claims he will do so until his fans stop coming to see him. There's no denying, however, the songs (and the videos of them) contained on Eddie Money's We Are the '80s went along way to defining the decade.
