Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the only full-length album released during his tragically short life, this debut showcases a remarkably versatile teen idol leaning heavily into lush, string-backed pop ballads. Although it contains his massive, seminal rockabilly anthem 'Sittin' in the Balcony', the record primarily focuses on framing his handsome, hiccuping vocals for the emerging adult-contemporary market. It offers a slightly subdued but fascinating look at an artist on the verge of massive rock and roll innovations.
