Elaine MacKenzie is the second album by Chicago pop band Green, released in 1987 on Pravda Records.^[1]

Reception

In writing for Spin, Ira Robbins called Elaine MacKenzie "an album of great accomplishment" that "pair[s] the most worthwhile Kinks influence since Big Star with enough hoarse soulful R&B soul for a Small Faces LP on Paisley Park." He gave further praise to Jeff Lescher's vocal performance, which he described as "a rough but melodic roar that seems to be staining for release."^[2]
