More Christopher Cross
Pure Pop Albums Available Now
- With a STUNNING Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) side two mated a superb Double Plus (A++) side one, this original Warner Bros. pressing of Cross’s debut LP is practically as good a copy as we have ever heard
- The sound is full, rich, lively and Tubey Magical in the best tradition of late-70s pop productions
- The sound may be too glossy for some, but we find that on the best copies that sound works just fine
- This is the album that swept the Grammy awards with songs like “Never Be The Same,” “Sailing” and “Ride Like The Wind”
- 4 1/2 stars: “While the hits like the dreamy ‘Sailing’ and the surging ‘Ride Like the Wind’ deserved all the attention, they’re hardly the only highlights here — to borrow a sports metaphor, this has a deep bench, and there’s not a weak moment here.”
- In our opinion, Dream Weaver is his best sounding album, and probably the only Gary Wright record you’ll ever need. Click on this link to see more titles we like to call one and done.
If you like Michael McDonald, Toto, The Doobies, Hall and Oates, The Bee Gees and countless other bands we have lovingly found a home for on our site, you will no doubt find much to like here. A guilty pleasure, you say? When a record sounds this good there is nothing to feel guilty about.
Besides Michael McDonald‘s amazing background vocals, listen for the contribution Michael Omartian (the producer) makes on the keyboards. The keyboards more than the guitars are really the driving force behind these songs. If you hear some Aja in his playing, that’s because he played on Aja too. He was also instrumental in many of the Direct to Discs Sheffield made, I’ve Got the Music in Me probably being the best known of the batch.
