French pressed music cassette. Clear cassette with grey text.

Richard Marx’s 1991 release, Rush Street, is a varied album that was billed as the dark side of Richard Marx, and was also his last true rock n roll album (subsequent releases found him venturing almost exclusively into the adult contemporary domain). Rush Street explores different musical territories, with almost each song emerging as a cautionary tale in some form or another. The album features three single tracks that are true gems, Keep Coming Back is a sultry, sexy, and downright cool R&B jam, with Luther Vandross background vocals adding a spellbinding quality. Take This Heart is an exuberant, up-tempo hit, and the real winner, Hazard, a dark, brooding ballad about a small-town murder, remains Marx’s most haunting, unique, and memorable recording. Rush Street may not be as strong as its two predecessors but fans of first-rate songwriting and straight-ahead rock will surely not be disappointed.
