Don't Look Back Songwriting Credits by Boston

Don't Look Back is Tom Scholz's album in almost every sense. The MIT-trained engineer wrote or co-wrote all eight songs, produced the record, and played guitars, organ, piano, and bass across it, cutting most of it in his own Hideaway Studio. Because the writing is his, the composer credits carry his legal name, Donald Thomas Scholz, on the six tracks he wrote alone, joined by Bradley Edward Delp on 'Party' and standing aside for Delp's solo-written 'Used to Bad News.' Brad Delp sang every lead and added rhythm guitar, while Barry Goudreau, Fran Sheehan, and Sib Hashian rounded out the band on guitar, bass, and drums. The credited songwriter names stay in their common forms, Tom Scholz and Brad Delp, while the composer column shifts to the birth names.
