Little Caesar's eponymous 1990 Geffen debut was produced by the infamous Bob Rock (producer of Metallica's self titled 1991 multi-platinum release, Motley Crue's “Dr. Feelgood”, and The Cult's “Sonic Temple” among others). The album was a no-nonsense collection of hard rock in the vein of 70's giants like Bad Company and Humble Pie, and was also brimming with classic R&B influences, garnering widespread acceptance and positive reviews from the rock media. It also featured two Motown covers, including a ballsy rendition of the classic Aretha Franklin track, “Chain of Fools,” which hit the Billboard Top 100 chart and received strong airplay nationwide on both rock radio and MTV.
