Love Gone Sour, Suspicion, and Bad Debt is the third album by the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, band the Clarks.

[4][1] The first single, "Cigarette", makes reference to Fayette County, the rural county located 35 miles south of Pittsburgh from which lead singer Scott Blasey hails.

[5] The album sold around 16,000 copies and led to a major label contract with MCA.

[7] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that the album "cruises along with a hook-heavy obsessiveness that puts it right up there with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and every other guilty pleasure left over from the '70s.

"[3] In 1996, Erie Times-News determined that it "completed a move toward a rootsier, Americana vibe that occasionally conjured up influences like Tom Petty, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, and the Silos.
