Up to No Good


Up to No Good is the third solo album by the American musician Peter Wolf, released in 1990 on MCA Records.

Production

The album was produced by Wolf, Robert White Johnson, and Taylor Rhodes. "Never Let It Go" is about the car crash that killed Wolf's high school girlfriend.

Critical reception

The Calgary Herald missed "the juvenile appeal that Wolf lucked into just before he and his J. Geils Band buddies went their separate ways." The Toronto Star wrote that "it's a charming record, a lively and knowledgeable tome that finds its ground somewhere between the Detroit and Philadelphia schools of soul, while standing firm on a harder rock footing."
The Ottawa Citizen labeled some of the songs "classic primal funk with a conscience." The Globe and Mail dismissed the album as "just one more attempt to capitalize on the appealing, but somewhat limited, rockaboogie sound Geils and company milked throughout the seventies."
