Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in January 1998, 'Naked Baby Photos' is a compilation of early Ben Folds Five tracks and live performances that captures the band's pre-mainstream appeal. This album arrived shortly after their breakthrough self-titled debut album in 1995, serving as a bridge to their commercial peak with 'Whatever and Ever Amen' later that same year.
