About this album
Rising shows Dr. Hook leaning into polished soft rock without losing the wit that set them apart. Issued in 1980, the album reflects the band’s late-1970s commercial peak, when singer-songwriter Shel Silverstein’s influence and the group’s knack for easygoing hooks made them a radio staple. Songs such as Girls Can Get It and Do You Right Tonight underline the band’s cheeky charm, while the smoother arrangements give the record a mainstream gloss typical of the era. It is a solid example of Dr. Hook’s ability to turn humour, melody and crossover appeal into durable pop-rock.
