• Track Listing

Digitally remastered edition. Includes 12 page booklet with 3,000 word essay, enhanced artwork and new interview with Danny. 1986 release, the first solo album from the lead vocalist from The Quick, Great Buildings, and The Rembrandts. Danny's first venture into a solo career came via this album, 'The Boyfriend', a record that has maintained it's appeal for being a record that not only showcased his compositional ability but also his compelling vocals. Big on hooks and superb arrangements, the record also features future Rembrandts members Phil Solem on guitar and Mr. Mister drummer Pat Mastelotto. Issued on the Island label in 1986 and produced by British-born Peter Coleman, the record inexplicably failed to gain traction, despite it's searing quality and top-notch song writing. Chief amongst the tracks that hit the mark is the opening cut 'Isn't It Enough', a song that will be familiar to a lot of melodic rock fans due to it being covered by Patty Smyth on her 1987 solo album 'Never Enough'. Elsewhere there's the superbly crafted 'Restless Heart', the harder rockin' 'Body To Body' and 'Hold Out For Me'. It's magnificent record and one that should have catapulted Danny to much wider acclaim.
