Living in Oz, Aug 2 2011

This is classic Rick Springfield. His third album of the eighties is harder rock than his first two. The words Springfield has written here become more meaningful once you read his autobiography "Late, Late at Night".

This is my FAVORITE Rick Springfield album!, July 8 2011

I can't say enough about how good this album was for its time. Diverse in every aspect of rock, from soft to heavy, to even danceable tracks. Very talented writing, playing and singing on the whole thing. The title track is worth the purchase alone. Affair of the Heart, still a kicking heavy track along with Motel Eyes. Souls just builds and kicks! Pick it up. :)

"More Great Rick Springfield", Jun 3 2011
By Terry Richard "Terry Richard" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living in Oz (Audio CD)
Rick Springfield's "Living In Oz" album was released in 1983 after he left TV's "General Hospital" and before he released his first theatrical film (and only movie) "Hard To Hold". Like his two previous RCA efforts "Living In Oz" would go Platinum making Rick one of the most successful rock artists of the eighties.
Highlights here include "Human Touch", "Affair of the Heart" (for which Rick received a much-deserved Grammy nomination), "Alyson", and the touching "Like Father, Like Son" that Rick wrote for his dad who died from cancer in 1981.
