Freakshow is the second album by American rock band BulletBoys.[2] [3] It was released in 1991 by Warner Bros. Records.[4] It is the follow-up to their successful self-titled debut.
The album peaked at Number 69 on the Billboard 200.[5] Their cover of Tom Waits's "Hang On St. Christopher" reached 22 on the Mainstream Rock chart. Videos were made for "THC Groove", "Hang On St. Christopher", and "Talk to Your Daughter".
In 2005, Wounded Bird Records re-released the album along with the follow-up, Za-Za, on a single disc.[6]
Entertainment Weekly thought that "the problem is that all [the band's] charm has no foundation to stand on; there are no hooks or memorable melodies here." The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Their cover of Tom Waits' 'Hang On St. Christopher' might make a few cringe-but then again, why would a Waits fan be listening to these guys?"
Some versions have a very different track listing, which reads as follows:
Promotional singles and videos were released for the songs "THC Groove", "Hang On St. Christopher", and "Talk To Your Daughter". Their cover of Tom Waits' "Hang On St. Christopher" would go on to peak at Number 22 on the US Mainstream Rock Chart in 1991.
