Fearless is the second album by the English actor/singer Tim Curry. Released in 1979, it was his most commercially successful album, reaching #53 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart.
Unlike his first album which consisted of cover versions, Fearless was composed almost entirely of original songs, mostly written by Curry with producers Michael Kamen and former Lou Reed collaborator Dick Wagner.
A single, "I Do the Rock", became Curry's most successful in the United States, reaching the Billboard Hot 100. "Paradise Garage" was also released as a 7" and 12" single in certain countries.
"No Love on the Street" was covered by Joe Bonamassa on his 2011 album Dust Bowl.
The Globe and Mail wrote that "Curry is definitely a better interpreter of other people's material than he is a songwriter."[1]
A 2017 remastered re-release of the album on CD includes the following bonus tracks, after the original nine.
