Miss Happiness is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band Walt Mink, released in 1992.[2] [3] It contains a cover of Nick Drake's "Pink Moon".[4] The band supported the album with a North American tour.[5]
USA Today wrote: "An idiosyncratic Cream for the '90s, Walt Mink adds daring innovation to the power trio formula."[6] The St. Petersburg Times called the album a "kooky concoction of psychedelia and heavy metal."[7]
The Orlando Sentinel determined that Walt Mink "has the chops and creativity of King's X but with more concision and without all the artsy overambition and concept baggage."[8] Stereo Review labeled Miss Happiness "a mixture of guitar-driven sass and twee-voiced smarm."[9]
AllMusic deemed the album "one of the brightest debuts of the '90s."
All songs written by John Kimbrough except Pink Moon, written by Nick Drake.
