Nexterday

Nexterday is the seventh and final studio album released by former lead singer and songwriter of The Cars, Ric Ocasek.

The album boasts a more DIY sound than previous albums, having been partially recorded in Ocasek's home studio with him playing many of the instruments himself. Musicians featured in his 1982 debut solo album, Beatitude were used on Nexterday, including fellow Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes, bassist Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains, drummer/programmer Stephen George and guitarist Roger Greenawalt. "Silver" was Ocasek's musical tribute to Benjamin Orr. "Please Don't Let Me Down" references the title of the album, Nexterday.
