Boston, Mass., the Del Fuegos' second album, arrived in 1985 wearing its hometown on its sleeve. The title came partly from those Miller beer "Made the American Way" ads the band turned up in that year, which flashed the words on screen at the start. Mitchell Froom produced it over the summer of 1985, and he let the band be what they wanted to be: a sweaty little bar band raised on '50s rhythm and blues and '60s soul, swearing they'd never had any use for the art rock of their '70s childhoods.
Dan Zanes wrote most of the songs and sings them with a hangdog growl, and his favorite subject is the lover who might be stepping out on him. Brother Warren Zanes plays guitar beside him, Tom Lloyd holds down bass and backing vocals, and James Ralston, borrowed from Tina Turner's band, adds some extra guitar. "I Still Want You" went out as the single.
