Beau Nasty - Dirty, But Dressed Well (1989)

So, this is a reasonably rare clump of wholesome 'hair metal' that kind've mixes Skid Row, AC/DC and just about every other band in-between. there's nothing original about this bunch but the opus does boast some rowdy tunes, namely 'Shake It' and the tear-jerking (apparently!) 'Make a Wish' with its cheesy, melodic strains and that soulful vocal croon. It could be argued that Beau Nasty were a typical '80s good time band straight outta California but I always enjoyed the vocals of Fritz but with so many bands of this ilk bustin' at the seems back in the day, Beau Nasty oh so quickly faded from view in spite of supporting killer bands such as Love/Hate.
7/10
