Life's Too Short (album)


Life's Too Short is the sixth album by singer/songwriter Marshall Crenshaw.
The album was produced by Ed Stasium and featured Kenny Aronoff on drums. Crenshaw recalled, "I liked what Kenny Aronoff and Ed Stasium were doing right then, I liked them both personally, and I wanted to work with them, so off we went…"
"Better Back Off" was a moderate hit on the Modern Rock charts, reaching number 17. Crenshaw said of the song, "On 'Better Back Off' you can tell from the music that I'm trying to write a big Rock-radio anthem. But the lyrics don't quite get there – they describe an intimate conversation between two people, not very anthem-like..."
