Rating: - "McDonald's long awaited follow up"
After a three year hiatus Michael McDonald released thi second album. From the first track the title song "No Lookin' Back" wich have an updated 80's sound with great instruments again played by members of the band Toto who were well past their prime as a recording act, but still highly regarded session men.

Rating: - Another Michael McDonald classic!
I don't know why, but it took me awhile to get into this album. I used to play the great title track over and over again and then I'd just sort of sit the album aside. (By the way, I still can't figure out how No Lookin' Back wasn't a big hit song. It really rocks.)
