It's about time we had something country flavoured in Album Club (last one was the Civil Wars album I think). I am not a huge country fan but do like some crossover artists especialy Nanci Griffith. This was one of her more mainstream (commercial) efforts but in a good way. Can't lump this one in with today's country/pop music.
Produced by the great Glyn Johns, this album is full of excellent songs beautifully arranged. It is not purist country and should appeal to lovers of singer songwriter and soft rock genres. An excellent recording which is readily available on CD and used vinyl. I have the 180g Alto reissue from the late 90's which sounds even better.
Standout tracks. - Storms, Listen To the Radio, Drive In Movies and Dashboard Lights, Radio Fragile. This is an overlooked classic. All tracks except Storms are written by the artist or co written with James Hooker of backing band The Blue Moon Orchestra. Features ex Eagle Bernie Leadon (Listen To The Radio) and Phil Everly (You Made This Love A Teardrop).
