Description

This is the number one album for listening to in summer, on the beach or not.It is unlike most chris rea albums, adopting the relaxed style , later found on King of the beach. The opening track is far better than the re-done version for Old light... Its fades nicely into Little blonde plaits- another great relaxing song. Giverny is a little bit more upbeat as is lucky day. The mood mellows again for Just passing through, and Its all gone- an 8 minute song that is half instrumental. Hello friend is the next track -this is very good too , and is particularly moving. Two roads is an upbeat numbermore… , followed by possibly the best track- Light of hope which is a great tune and lyrics that just seem so unforced its hard to imagine how they were written. Auf immer and Ewig ( For ever and ever ) is the next track, used in a film. Its a haunting work.Freeway is possibly the nicest track- very happy and soothing with a great chord sequence. the album ends with Bless them all- a typical Rea instrumental, putting you in the mind of the 3 extra tracks on Dancing with strangers and 'no work today' on Tennis. Finally Crack that mould is heard- a brilliant jazzy classic that doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the album and thankfully its included anyway. The first times i heard this album on tape i disliked most of the songs except the title track and Crack that mould. i found it boring. But after purchasing it on cd i realized that actually it is one of my top3 Rea albums. A must have.
