Field Day

About Field Day

Field Day is the second album by American rock musician Marshall Crenshaw. Recorded quickly after the moderate success of his self-titled debut album, Field Day featured a change in style and production after Crenshaw switched producers from Richard Gottehrer to Steve Lillywhite. The recording of the album was remembered positively by Crenshaw as was the album's sound. Despite the success of its predecessor, Field Day was a commercial disappointment, reaching number 52 in the United States while its lead single, "Whenever You're on My Mind" reached number 103 on the singles chart. Critics were mixed, with most criticism geared toward the album's production. Despite this, Crenshaw remains supportive of the album and "Whenever You're on My Mind" has become one of Crenshaw's most famous songs. more »
