Rating: We are in 1985 and, after Anyone Can Fly, despite its lack of success, Denny presents us once again with a piece of good craftsmanship, even though it's a step below the previous one, which featured the participation of former Wings member Steve Holly on drums.
It is, in fact, a concept album in which the story of a man, his loves, and his disillusionments is narrated.
The entire album follows this logical thread, noticeable in the progression of the tracks. The record features a very "American" sound with nods to Blues and also, unfortunately mistakenly, to disco.
The best tracks, in my opinion, are "Mistral," a song developed over multiple themes, "Street" with Maggie Bell on vocals, the delicate "Hometown Girls," and "Blue Nights," which I believe is one of Denny's best compositions that would not have looked out of place on a Wings album (LISTEN TO BELIEVE!!!)
The year following the release of this album, Denny will declare bankruptcy by selling the copyright of "Mull of Kintyre" to Paul McCartney.
The subsequent works will be characterized, likely due to financial difficulties, by a reduced number of instrumentalists.
A colorful note: in the mid-80s, the first mobile phones were making their debut on the scene and...the cover art clearly tells how much time has passed...
