Ain't Love Grand is the fifth album by X. This album was their first not produced by Ray Manzarek. It was reissued with four bonus tracks by Rhino Records in 2002. Continuing with their fusion of punk, rockabilly and country, the album has less of a punk rock sound than their previous work, and includes the minor radio hit "Burning House of Love". The video for the song mostly received just late night airplay on MTV, but the band also performed the song on American Bandstand in September 1985, their largest television exposure to date. The album also includes a cover of the Small Faces song "All or Nothing". Lead guitarist Billy Zoom would leave the band after this album. He did return to the band in 1998 during a tour.
All tracks written by John Doe and Exene Cervenka, except where noted.
