ive years after the release of 1989s pop-oriented album Strange Angels, Laurie Anderson followed up with the avant- garde concept album Bright Red, a Brian Eno production exploring much darker territory. Eno also co-wrote four tracks; The Puppet Motel, Muddy River, Poison and Tightrope. For the recordings, Anderson was supported by Andrew Belew, who provided guitars on several tracks. Belew is best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of King Crimson.
