This is Happy Days alum Scott Baio's lesser known second album. Baio, surprisingly, has a decent rock voice, in the vein of another one-time television star, Rick Springfield. The Boys Are Out Tonight gets off to a passable start with "I'll Take You Back" and "Fingerprints," which strive for a Bruce Springsteen sound circa The River. But it quickly descends, predictably, into dullness, as Baio's crack team of 80s studio professionals trod out musical cliche after musical cliche (see especially the two weak covers of The Dave Clark Five's "Can't You See that She's Mine" and Johnny Kidd's "Shakin' All Over" that lead off Side Two), including an over-infusion of corny keyboard effects. What I don't understand is how Scott Baio got to produce a second album. Either he had a two-record deal with RCA from the outset, or the forces of market-capitalism necessitated it."
