Nicely, Nicely is the debut album by the Blake Babies, released in 1987 (see 1987 in music). [6] The band financed the album themselves. [7]
Trouser Press praised the "tunefully presentable songs and the unsettling range of Hatfield’s all-over-the-place singing." [8] The Rough Guide to Rock called the album "shambolic," writing that "it was clearly the sound of a band trying to find their way." [9]
All songs written by the Blake Babies.
