Bitter Moon

On his second solo outing, Danny Wilde really delivered the goods with "Any Man's Hunger". For starters, it featured the biggest hit of his solo career, Time Runs Wild (Mainstream Rock #15) and the album itself landed in the Billboard Top 200. But in addition to being the most successful of his 80s solo albums, it is also arguably his best 80s album from start to finish. The writing, the hooks, and the craftsmanship are all in top form and there are more than a handful of songs that you won't be able to get out of your head. "Any Man's Hunger" is quite simply a great rock record–-and a nice slice of Americana (although recorded in London.)
