Playing for Keeps is Eddie Money's third album, released in 1980. It continued the early phase sound that began in 1977 with Money's debut. Jimmy Lyon's guitar work is a key to standouts "Trinidad" and "Million Dollar Girl" the first and last tracks. Since this effort did not attain the radio airplay of the first album, it is not as well known to later fans, and is frequently harder to find.
Other notable album cuts include "Let's Be Lovers Again," a duet (with Valerie Carter), and "Get a Move On."
