DANNY WILDE - The Boyfriend (1986)

Danny Wilde's first solo album featured a lineup that looks very much like that of the first Rembrandts album-with Phil Solem on guitar and Pat Mastelotto on drums. But the sound of The Boyfriend isn't quite what a longtime Rembrandts fan might expect. While the album features solid songwriting and Wilde's signature voice, The Boyfriend is a straightforward guitar rock album, and a pretty good one. The first single, Isn't It Enough, was a Top 20 rock radio hit, and would often be covered by live by Martina McBride and appeared Patty Smyth's album 'Never Enough'. The follow up, Body To Body also received heavy airplay from rock radio. Because Wilde jumped ship to Geffen Records shortly after the album's release, The Boyfriend was never issued on CD but will soon be available on iTunes!
