Reviews

Steven-Hartka Sep 12, 2023
It feels like a crime to me that this album isn't more popular. You can hear influence from groups like Toto and Steely Dan. My personal favorite tracks are "Two Lonely Nights" and "Annie". "If You Should Sail" seems to be the most popular one, but the whole album is pretty remarkable in my opinion. Worth getting a copy.
