Huey Lewis & The News – Sports
Label: Chrysalis Records – VK 41412 | CD Format | Released 1984
Sports is the breakout third studio album from Huey Lewis & The News, a defining force in 1980s pop-rock. Released in 1983 and reissued on CD in 1984, this platinum-certified album delivered four Top 10 Billboard hits and became a cornerstone of the decade’s sound. With its blend of rock, soul, and new wave energy, Sports captures the band’s signature style—tight arrangements, catchy hooks, and Huey Lewis’s unmistakable vocals.
The album opens with the anthem The Heart of Rock & Roll, a tribute to the genre’s enduring spirit, and includes fan favorites like I Want a New Drug, Heart and Soul, and If This Is It. From the satirical blues of Bad Is Bad to the socially conscious Walking on a Thin Line, the tracklist showcases the band’s versatility and radio-ready polish.
