"Nazz III" is the third studio album by the American rock band Nazz, although it was originally intended as a solo album by the group's leader, Todd Rundgren. Released in 1971, "Nazz III" showcases Rundgren's eclectic songwriting style and the band's evolving musical direction. The album features a mix of psychedelic rock, power pop, and experimental elements, with tracks like "Some People" and "Hang on Paul" displaying Rundgren's knack for crafting catchy melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. "Nazz III" also includes a number of longer, more ambitious tracks such as "Letters Don't Count" and "Kicks," which showcase the band's instrumental prowess and their willingness to experiment with different musical styles. While "Nazz III" was not as commercially successful as the band's previous albums, it has since gained recognition as a cult classic among fans of 1960s and 1970s rock music, highlighting Todd Rundgren's enduring influence as a songwriter and musician.
