The frontman of the J. Geils Band shows new charms as a solo artist.
"Lights Out" maintains the rock 'n' roll spirit of his band days while developing a more pop and sophisticated sound. Wolf's charismatic vocals brought a breath of fresh air to the '80s pop rock scene. This is a solid debut album that demonstrates his talent as a solo artist.
