The Modern Lovers - Rock 'n' Roll with the Modern Lovers - LP

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers' charming 1977 album Rock 'n' Roll with the Modern Lovers.

The band's second album (Beserkley, 1977) trades proto-punk grit for childlike wonder and pure pop joy, mixing folk songs and lullabies with originals like "Ice Cream Man" and "Rockin' Rockin' Leprechauns." Its single "Egyptian Reggae" became a European hit, reaching No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart. An enduring cult favorite from one of rock's true originals.
