"hey you"...........................no chart action anywhere
"loves strange ways"............no chart action anywhere
Chris' fifth studio album(i own the first five),
sort of went off him after this one, not that the album is bad, just had enough of his style of music,which,lets face it, didnt have much variation to it!
album is typical of his laidback style,nice melodies and guitar work,good little stories in his songs also.
nothing great and nothing bad on here,just a nice steady album or easy listening music.
when i was researching his career stats and chart placements for the post i noticed that Chris had very little chart success in the US...strange really because i'd have thought his style would have suited the california/florida lifestyle(like Buffett's music)...and also for some strange reason he seems to have been more popular here in Australia than his homeland(UK)..
