Nothing Scary (1984)

Track Listing - Liner Notes - Fan Reviews - Lyrics


Wild Man Fischer's last album, Nothing Scary (once again produced by Barnes & Barnes) is perhaps his most polished effort, an entertaining, enjoyable collection of songs and spoken bits recorded both on location and in the studio.

Once again, several songs were either written or co-written by Barnes & Barnes, as well as former Captain Beefheart sideman Robert Williams and America members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell.
