Dirty Looks (album)
''Dirty Looks'' is the fifth solo album by the American country pop singer Juice Newton. It was released by Capitol Records in 1983. Overview ''Dirty Looks'' was Newton's follow-up to ''Juice'' (her "breakthrough" album) and ''Quiet Lies''. Both had been major hits for Capitol and, between them, had produced six top ten singles. With their success, Capitol seemed determined more than ever to push Newton further into the pop market.

"Tell Her No", a reworking of The Zombies's 1965 top ten hit, peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Pop chart while "Dirty Looks" only reached number 90. "Stranger at My Door" had a modest peak at number 45 on the Billboard Country chart. In summing up the album's modest success, the music critic Ian McFarlane noted, "The first clue was the album cover which featured a series of nine photos of Juice looking bright, playful and not a little coy, ...
