The Smithereens, Green Thoughts, 1988 on Capitol.
The Smithereens, Green Thoughts, 1988 on Capitol.
While the debut album was “Especially For You,” the track by that name is on this sophomore release, along with “Only A Memory” and “Drown In My Own Tears.”
Pat DiNizio’s songwriting and inimitable vocals made The Smithereens a key part of my 80s musical landscape. (He passed in 2017).
