Boston, Mass. is the second album by the American band the Del Fuegos, released in 1985.[1][2] Its release coincided with the band's participation in Miller Brewing Company's "Made the American Way" television commercials; the band in part named the album after their hometown because the text appeared at the beginning of the commercials.[3][4] "I Still Want You" was released as a single.[5] The Del Fuegos supported the album with North American and European tours.[6][4] Boston, Mass. peaked at No. 132 on the Billboard 200.[7]
Recorded during the summer of 1985, the album was produced by Mitchell Froom.[8][9] The band was chiefly influenced by 1950s rhythm and blues and 1960s soul, claiming that they did not listen to the art rock of their 1970s childhoods.[10] They invited James Ralston, of Tina Turner's band, to play guitar on some of the tracks.[11] Many of the songs, most of which were written by Dan Zanes, are about worrying over faithless lovers.[8]
