Why This Record Matters
Todd Rundgren made Nearly Human with a full band playing together in the studio, giving the album a warm, live-in-the-room feel. Soulful vocals, layered pop-rock arrangements, and songs such as “The Want Of A Nail,” “Parallel Lines,” and “I Love My Life” show his range as a songwriter, singer, and producer.
