Free-for-All by Michael Penn
Free-for-All is an album by Michael Penn, released in 1992. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Seen The Doctor”, on 9 lists with a best position of #51.
Free-for-All, Michael Penn's second album, came out on RCA in 1992 as the follow-up to March, with Tony Berg in the producer's chair. It's crisp, melodic folk rock with an alternative-rock edge, all ringing guitars and tidy hooks.
Two songs from it cracked the Top 20 of the Modern Rock charts: "Long Way Down (Look What the Cat Drug In)" got to number 14, and "Seen the Doctor" climbed higher still. But the record also kicked off an ugly fight between Penn and his label, and the standoff kept the next one, Try, on the shelf until 1997.
