SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:05 Min.
From Tequila Sunrise’s 1988 movie soundtrack, Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor goes solo on this hard-to-find hard rock tune. However, one should beware that the pulsating song is heavy on sexual innuendo.
REVIEW:
It’s a shame that only a few seconds of Andy Taylor’s hard-charging rock solo serve as mood enhancement in the film’s background. Even twenty-plus years later, Taylor’s work on this tune is loud and electrifying. “Dead on the Money” offers an adrenaline-boosting option for a workout playlist – then again, it’s just as good for 80’s-themed hard rock/soundtrack playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7½ Stars
Note: Also recommended is Taylor’s “When the Rain Comes Down” from 1986. It appears on the Miami Vice, Volume II TV series soundtrack,. An extended version of “When the Rain Comes Down” is available on Taylor’s 1987 album, Thunder.
