Street Party is an album by the American band the Mellow Fellows, released in 1990.[1][2] It was the band's first album since the March 1990 death of frontman Big Twist.[3] The Mellow Fellows supported the album with a North American tour.[4] Street Party was a success on radio stations throughout Illinois.[5]
The album was recorded at Dr. Caw Recording, in Northbrook, Illinois.[6] It was the band's first studio album with early bandmember Martin Allbritton.[7] The Mellow Fellows wrote five of Street Party's songs.[8] The bandmembers strove to play more as an ensemble rather than as a backup band.[9] "Feels Like Rain" is a cover of the John Hiatt song.[10] "We'll Be Friends" is a tribute to Big Twist.[8] "Since I Fell for You" was written by Buddy Johnson. "Don't Turn Your Heater Down" was cowritten by Steve Cropper.[11]
