Runt (album)
''Runt'' is the self-titled debut of the band Runt, first released in 1970 on the Ampex Records label.
Many regard the album as Todd Rundgren's debut solo album, as all later reissues (including the 1990 CD reissue by Rhino) credit the album to Todd Rundgren rather than to Runt. At the initial time of release, however, Runt was identified as a trio consisting of Rundgren (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Hunt Sales (drums), and Tony Sales (bass). The entire album was written and produced by Rundgren.
Initially dividing critics upon its release, the record runs the gamut from blues-styled guitar workouts ("Birthday Carol", "Broke Down and Busted") to power pop ("Devil's Bite", "Don't Tie My Hands") to Laura Nyro-styled piano pop ("We Gotta Get You a Woman", "Baby Let's Swing", "The Last Thing You Said") to rock 'n' roll ("Who's That Man") to piano ballads ("Believe in Me", "Once Burned", the middle section of "Birthday Carol"), as well as including more experimental numbers (the sarcastic, prog-rock tinged "I'm in the Clique", "There Are No Words").
=="We Gotta Get You A Woman"==
Ostensibly written for long-time friend and eventual President of Bearsville Records, Paul Fishkin, "We Gotta Get You A Woman" was the unexpected hit which put Todd and "Runt" on the musical map. The song captures lover's lament of the fictional character ""Leroy"" in a whimsical but poignant way. Todd and Paul would personally go to radio stations touting the story of their friendship and lack of female companionship. Eventually, enough DJs responded by giving the song a play that it spawned the movement toward reaching ''Billboard's'' Top 20 in 1971. There was a bit of controversy from Women's Liberation groups over the line "Talkin' 'bout feelings for that special one/They may be stupid but they sure are fun." Detractors inferred "stupid" was a derogatory remark about women, however, Todd insists to this day his intention was to regard the "feelings" about women to be the target of the pronoun. Whatever the case, the fervor led to some stations refusing to play the tune for fear of reprisals.
