Denny Laine
Anyone Can Fly

If it's true that "Japanese Tears" was the first album released by Denny Laine after the breakup of the Wings, it's also true that it contained songs composed predominantly during that period.

"Anyone Can Fly," on the other hand, contains material composed later, and it must be said that many tracks would not have looked out of place on a Wings album. Moreover, the sound and production are truly refined. Denny had worked diligently to release a worthy "re-debut" accompanied by a great band.

However, the commercial response was poor, and this, along with subsequent financial problems, contributed to the gradual decline of the artist.

It starts with Running Round in Circles, a fun song with a tropical reggae vibe, which in Italy was used to advertise a brand of ice cream (practically Denny in our country was only heard in some commercials). Alone, it's worth almost the entire album.
Noteworthy are also "Who Moved The World," a delicate and sad ballad, the powerful "Racing Cars," with an intro similar to George Harrison's "Faster," and "Various Shapes and Forms."

Anyone Can Fly is a ballad with a predominance of acoustic guitar, socially engaged, it tells of the living conditions of the homeless and an incident with a cyclist that Denny witnessed.
Unfortunately, the scarce and undeserved success the album encountered would affect subsequent works.
