i've always been a fan of Adrian Belew's work with Talking Heads and King Crimson, and of his work as a producer, but i hadn't picked up any of his solo works. i saw Young Lions for three bucks at my local halfpriced books, and i picked it up. wow! i realized after listening to it through the first time that i'd heard several of the songs without really knowing who it was, but the album has a great coherence, and there are some great hooks, licks and lyrics. it's well recorded and mastered, too. the two good David Bowie songs that are on it (Pretty Pink Rose and Gunman) are a great bonus.
i'll definitely be on the lookout for the rest of his stuff.
