Uh‐oh by David Byrne

Uh-Oh, David Byrne's second solo studio album, landed on Luaka Bop and Warner Bros. in 1992, a year after Talking Heads, the band the Scottish-born singer had co-founded in New York in 1975, called it a day. Nick Launay produced it, and Byrne sounds anything but lost without his old band: this is bright, jittery, rhythm-drunk art rock, crackling with nervous energy, the voice still yelping and hiccuping like a man who can't sit still.

"She's Mad" was the one that broke through, climbing to No. 3 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, even if the album itself only got as far as No. 125 on the Billboard 200.
