Slow Dance is an album by the American musician Southside Johnny, released in 1988.[2][3] It was marketed as a solo endeavor, although a few Asbury Jukes played on the album.[4][5]
The album peaked at No. 198 on the Billboard 200.[6] The cover of "Ain't That Peculiar" was a minor radio hit.[7] Southside Johnny promoted the album by again touring with the Asbury Jukes.[8]
The album was recorded during a six-month period between Asbury Jukes commitments.[9] Southside Johnny wrote five of its 10 songs; he wanted to focus more on his lyrics than he had in the past.[10][11]
Bruce Springsteen contributed to "Walking Through Midnight", which was written in part in 1978.[5] The Uptown Horns performed on a few songs.[12] "Little Calcutta" was inspired by the plight of the homeless people who resided at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.[8]
