Show Me is an album by the Canadian alternative rock band 54-40, released in 1987.[1] [2] The album contains the singles "One Day in Your Life" and "One Gun", both of which were hits in Canada. Neil Osborne has stated that Show Me is his least favourite record.[3]
The album was produced by Dave Jerden and was recorded in Los Angeles.[4] According to Osborne, the album cost $250,000 to make,[5] and Osborne has stated that he thought the album was "overproduced."[3]
The Globe and Mail wrote that "the wrenching overdrive guitar, touches of synthetic coloring, pale vocals and abstract political/spiritual concerns bring to mind an odd combination of Neil Young and the Cult."[6] The Toronto Star called the album "punk music gone soft around the edges."[7] The Gazette deemed it "a sometimes confrontational sound couched in dreamlike atmospherics."[8]
Show Me was nominated for a CASBY Award for "Album of the Year".[9]
