Another purchase inspired by Griff.
The Studio album Midnight Blue, from 1982 is a sumptuously recorded offering that deserves attention. Good songs, beautifully played. The booklet draws comparisons to Al Stewart, with which I'd agree, and I'd add early Dire Straits, and Chris de Burgh (maybe). Whilst the songs are obviously Brit-orientated, the music is more West-Coast US.
The live album isn't as appealing to me, but is again a top recording, and the songs are strong. The backing is predominantly simple & acoustic, and the music is closer to UK Folk than the above.
A good introduction to a definitely impressive talent.
