Don Johnson - Let It Roll (1989)

Donnie Wayne "Don" Johnson (born December 15, 1949) is an American actor, producer, director, singer, and songwriter.

He played the role of James "Sonny" Crockett in the 1980s television series Miami Vice, winning a Golden Globe for his work in the role.
He also had the eponymous lead role in the 1990s cop series Nash Bridges. He has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Johnson released two albums of pop music in the 1980s, one in 1986 "Heartbeat" and this one "Let It Roll" in 1989.

Anyone one who doesn't like the "Let It Roll" album just hasn't listened to it enough!
Although there are a couple of slow spots, (Better Place, & Your Love is Safe With Me,) there is a lot of fun stuff and a couple of really sweet ones, too.
The title song is one of my favorites; sounds like a typical Saturday night: the dude is hot, hustlin'...and broke! I love it when he loses place, then picks it up, makes it better and carries on! "Tell It Like It Is" is even better if you can find the video. A sultry Naw 'Leans saloon singer, swingin' sax, totally hot!
Little One's Lullaby is totally sweet, although you realize the reason for getting the kids to bed may be the fact the night is warm, and so is Mama!<g> What if It Takes All Night, Angel City, When You Only Loved Me, Other Peoples Lives, are all great.
Lonely Too Long is a hoot, especially towards the end, where Don is seemingly winding it down, and the background singers seem to find a life of their own!
The little "wreck" at the end, complete with "sirens" is too funny, and the laughter just makes it more fun! If you are a "serious" collector, maybe; if you just want to have fun, go for it!
