Can’t Hold Back by Eddie Money
Can’t Hold Back is an album by Eddie Money, released in 1986. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 53 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Take Me Home Tonight”, on 53 lists with a best position of #30.
Can't Hold Back, Eddie Money's sixth studio album, came out on Columbia on August 8, 1986, with Richie Zito producing, and it put him right back in the spotlight. The reason was "Take Me Home Tonight", which pulled in Ronnie Spector and gave both of them a second wind. It was a Billboard top 10 hit, and it got Money a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
The rest of the record is big, glossy mid-decade rock with plenty of muscle. "I Wanna Go Back" is a cover, lifted from Billy Satellite's debut album of 1984, and "Stranger in a Strange Land", which Money wrote with Henry Small and Tom Whitlock, later turned up on John Entwistle's solo album The Rock with Small singing. The album went platinum by August 1987.
