The Greg Kihn Band was a rock band that had a few minor hits but never really hit it big. As a soloist on this new CD, leader Kihn may still not hit it big in terms of sales, but in terms of hitting the musical target, his aim is true. Now a mature rocker, Kihn covers a variety of musical styles, from sea chanty to Bob Dylan, and pours himself emotionally into each song. His covers of "Anastasia," Sittin' on Top of the World," and "Subterranean Homesick Blues" are each worth buying this CD for, so I guess you can say that Mutiny comes triply recommended.

I got this cd from a discount bin about 7 years ago and was shocked to find out it was Greg Kihn from the 80's. I was never a real fan of his 80's pop stuff, so when I heard this collection of heartfelt acoustic based folk, I was blown away! Kihn can sing a song, tell a story and take you into the moment with him. Joshua Gone Barbados is a personal favorite. Get this cd.

I don't like MOR Greg Kihn...but this work is better. Accoustic folk-flavoured pop, with some covers. "Femme fatale" is the best moment, basically because of the excellent melody of the Lou Reed. Others? Forgettable, not impressive.
