Info for Modern Lovers 88 (Remastered)
35 Anniversary Edition of Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers’ final studio album. Delivering a surprisingly lush sound, the musicians perform an upbeat selection of playful, acoustic tunes, including “I Love Hot Nights,” “African Lady,” and “Gail Loves Me.” A favorite title in Richman’s lengthy catalog, Modern Lovers 88 has been praised by AllMusic as “Quite rocking, with heavy debts to doo-wop and Bo Diddley rhythms, and a jolly (though not sappy) summertime campfire feel.” This reissue features all-analog mastering from the original tapes.
"One of his better '80s efforts, and certainly one of the most basic, performed in an acoustic trio format. It's nonetheless quite rocking, with heavy debts to doo wop and Bo Diddley rhythms, and a jolly (though not sappy) summertime campfire feel. Some of his best uptempo tunes are here, including "I Love Hot Nights," "California Desert Party," and "Gail Loves Me." (Richie Unterberger, AMG)

Jonathan Michael Richman (born May 16, 1951) is a prolific American singer-songwriter. He rose to underground fame as leader of The Modern Lovers, who were among the Trope Makers of Punk Rock during the early 1970s. After the band broke up, Jonathan ("Jojo") made a Heel–Face Turn towards mellow acoustic rock that couldn't be more different to the Modern Lovers' edgy and intense proto-punk rock. He is recognized for his innocent lyrics, charismatic stage presence, "wide-eyed" performances and distinctive lo-fi style of acoustic rock.
