  With the Naked Eye is a 1979 studio album released by American singer-songwriter Greg Kihn and the first album to be released under The Greg Kihn Band. The album took the band in a new direction, with less acoustically driven songs and a more straightforward rock sound.
  
  The album features a cover version of the Bruce Springsteen song "Rendezvous" as well as a cover of Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner", which became a live staple for The Greg Kihn Band.
