LOVE THIS ALBUM! I attended its record release party at the China Club in Chicago back in December, 1991. As I remember (it’s been 34 years!), this was Kelley Ryan’s first public performance, she was nervous to say the least! I believe the “band” Puddles was actually Jeff Murphy from Shoes and his young son.
