CAN'T HOLD BACK

‘Can’t Hold Back’ was Eddie’s sixth album and the first to be pro-duced by Richie Zito, a man with an impressive resume, includ-ing crafting records by Cheap Trick, Heart and Bad English. Is-sued in 1986, the album moved Eddie’s career firmly back in the spotlight, giving rise to no less than three hit singles, including ‘I Wanna Go Back’ and ‘Endless Nights’. However it was the killer track ‘Take Me Home Tonight’ that put the icing on this particu-lar cake, with Eddie duetting with iconic vocalist Ronnie Spector. The result of the collaboration and accompanying video was spectacular, helping to send the track to #4 on the US singles chart. Joined by the cream of the session world including bassist Randy Jackson (Journey), drummer Mike Baird (Michael Bolton) and keyboard maestro Steve George (Mr Mister) his voice is trium-phant and the material is first class. Every reason to believe, in fact, that this album is the pinnacle of Eddie’s career.
