Runt: The Ballad of Todd Rundgren (1971) |
|
Runt is Todd Rundgren's debut solo album, first released in 1970 on the Ampex Records label and later reissued on CD by Rhino. Initially dividing critics upon its release, the record runs the gamut from bluesey guitar workouts ("Birthday Carol", "Broke Down and Busted"), power pop ("Devil's Bite", "Don't Tie My Hands"), Laura Nyro-styled piano pop ("We Gotta Get You a Woman", "Baby Let's Swing", "The Last Thing You Said"), rock n' roll ("Who's that Man"), piano ballads ("Believe in Me", "Once Burned", the middle section of "Birthday Carol"), as well as more experimental numbers (the sarcastic, prog-rock tinged "I'm in the Clique", the haunting "There Are No Words").
