Boomchild is the third solo album from Dennis DeYoung. It was released in February 1989 by MCA Records. Boomchild featured the title track with a music video but the song was relegated to the B-Side of "Beneath The Moon", the only single. Both the single and Boomchild failed to chart and the album has since been out of print.^[1]
