Shortstop is the second album by the American singer-songwriter Sara Hickman, released in 1990.




Critical reception


Trouser Press called the album a "sleek commercial effort," writing that Hickman "rises to the challenge with exquisite vocal control and clever, inventive songs on such diverse topics as Salvador Dali, American hostages, sisterly love and the foibles of male sexuality."




Release


"I Couldn't Help Myself" was an adult contemporary hit. Shortstop was Hickman's sole album for Elektra; she was dropped after its release, in part, because she did not include her Arachnophobia soundtrack song, "Blue Eyes Are Sensitive to the Light."




Track listing



Track 12 is not listed on the back cover.
