On this day June 17, 1988, the Georgia Satellites released their second studio album Open All Night. Following the success of their debut and the hit song Keep Your Hands to Yourself, the band leaned further into their southern rock and barroom boogie sound.
The album reached number 77 on the Billboard charts and featured gritty guitar riffs, loud vocals and a raw energy that captured the spirit of old school rock and roll. While it didn’t match the commercial impact of their debut, tracks like Sheila and Dunk 'n' Dine carried the same punchy attitude that earned them a loyal fan base.
Produced during a time when slick pop and glam rock were dominating the airwaves, Open All Night stuck to its roots and delivered a loud unapologetic sound.
80s insight: In an era of polished production, the Georgia Satellites reminded everyone that straight ahead rock and roll still had a place in the 80s.
