Jules Shear has been an influential force on the American music scene for more than 20 years, first as a member of the LA country rock band the Funky Kings, then with his own Jules & the Polar Bears (whose debut release, Got No Breeding, was named one of Rolling Stone's top albums of the '70s), then as a solo artist. The founder and original host of MTV Unplugged, his songs have been covered by Cyndi Lauper ('All Through the Night'), the Bangles ('If She Knew What She Wants'), the Band, Roger McGuinn, Art Garfunkel and numerous others. Allow Me captures Jules' quirky, challenging pop at peak form, with a stellar band including Mark Egan (bass), Stewart Lerman and Steuart Smith (guitars), and guest vocals from Susan Cowsill, Vicki Petersen and Suzzy Roche. Produced by Stewart Lerman and Jules Shear.
