Casual Gods


Casual Gods was the second solo album by Jerry Harrison. His third, Walk on Water, also bore the Casual Gods name as a proxy for the band.
The track Man with a Gun was featured in the 1988 film Two Moon Junction, and the instrumental version of the same song was used in the 1986 Jonathan Demme film Something Wild. The track "Cherokee Chief" first appears on the 1987 Sire Records promotional sampler Just Say Yes. The single "Rev It Up" hit the Us Mainstream charts topping out at #7 in 1987, and receives radio airplay still at the current time.
