Go Nutz
Go Nutz is the third studio album by Dutch rock and roll and blues group Herman Brood & His Wild Romance. Three singles came from the album, "Love You Like I Love Myself," "Hot Shot," and "I Don't Need You," all of which charted in the Netherlands. On the Dutch album chart, the album reached #6 on 8 March 1980, and stayed on the chart for nine weeks.[2] Go Nutz was re-released on CD in 1996 by Sony BMG/Ariola. Track listing
Production and receptionGo Nutz, recorded in the United States, was supposed to follow up on the American success of the single "Saturday Night" (from Shpritsz) and a compilation called Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, made specifically for the American market. The Dutch market was ripe for another Brood album, since the single "Never be Clever" had reached #10 in the Dutch singles chart on 16 June 1979.[3] However, the recording sessions were a disaster; the American producers replaced the rest of the band with session musicians, resulting in a disappointing album[4] and the disbanding of the hitherto successful quartet of Brood, Lademacher, Cavalli, and Meerman.[5] The album produced three charting singles in the Netherlands, but failed to chart in the US. Singles"Love You Like I Love Myself" was released as a single (with "Hit" on the B-side) in 1979; it peaked at #12 in the Dutch Top 50 on 17 November 1979, and was on the charts for seven weeks.[6] "Hot Shot" reached # in the Dutch Top 50 on 16 February 1980, and was on the charts for seven weeks.[7] "I Don't Need You" reached #29 in the Dutch Top 50 on 10 and 17 May 1980, and was on the charts for four weeks.[8] Personnel
