1981 studio album by Meat Loaf
Dead Ringer Meat Loaf , released on September 4, 1981. It is the second of four albums written entirely by Jim Steinman .[2] Bernie Wrightson .
Album background [ edit ]
Steinman started to work on Bad for Good Bat Out of Hell [2] Bad for Good himself, and write a new album for Meat Loaf. This album was Dead Ringer , which was later released in 1981, after the release of Bad for Good .
After playing the role of Travis Redfish in the movie Roadie [citation needed Steinman had written five new songs which, in addition to a new, re-recorded version of "More Than You Deserve" (which Meat Loaf had sung in the musical with the same name ) and a reworked monologue, formed the album Dead Ringer . The album was produced by Meat Loaf and Stephan Galfas , with backing tracks produced by Jimmy Iovine and Steinman.
Four singles were released from Dead Ringer : "Dead Ringer for Love " (featuring Cher ), "I'm Gonna Love Her for Both of Us ", "Read 'Em and Weep " and "Peel Out". The album reached number 1 in the UK.[3]
The tour for this album also marked the beginning of Meat Loaf's long-running collaboration with pianist Paul Jacobs , as both sideman and songwriter.
Reception [ edit ]
Dead Ringer was considered both a commercial and critical disappointment after the worldwide success of Meat Loaf's debut album Bat Out of Hell . Parke Puterbaugh of Rolling Stone [4]
