Marshall Crenshaw: Field Day
Mitchell Cohen, Creem, September 1983
MARSHALL CRENSHAW'S first album was like a tuneful adaptation of an ad from the Voice's personal/classified columns: Lookin' for a brand new lover, a cynical girl who doesn't bother with the usual thing and likes to go rockin' around in N.Y.C. (dancing abilities optional).
