Album "Night and Day II", 2000

It's a hell of a town

There's smoke coming up through the holes in the ground

It's a hell of a town

Plenty of devils for taking you down

Any time of night and day

It's a hell of a town

Getting drunk on the tears of a clown

It's a hell of a town

Steppin' out in a bulletproof gown

So get out of my goddamn way

I'm walking here

I'm talking here

It's a hell of a town

Swimming out where the ships run aground

It's a hell of a town

Always room on the merry-go-round

So step up and be damned today

I'm walking here

I'm talking here

Why this album wasn't promoted more by radio I'll never get.

I stumbled into this album looking to get a copy of night and Day on CD back in 2003 and decided to check this out. I totally agree this is an awesome successor. It's a real pity not it wasn't as popular as the first one.

I totally agree! Night and day 2 is a wonderful and worthy sucessor to Night and Day. It paints, again, a vivid story of NYC, it's inhabitants and (sometimes) tragic lives. Musically still based on Latin Rhythms and even richer and more mature than its predecessor.. it is more a leap forward than a look back. No more need to step into the light there remains the urge to "stay". This wrap's it all up and connects both albums.. in a very mature and (for the fan) still totally recognisable way.

At first I wasn't that fussed about this album, but a decade on, I think it's one of Joe's best. All of the songs grow on you, and there's a hypnotic pulse that runs through the entire work.
