Not Cross but happy!

Bought the original Christopher Cross album on vinyl in 1979 but can no longer play. This CD version is superb and reminded me what an immensely talented singer-songwriter he is. Lush, languid and emotive, Cross paints a dreamscape of emotions with that instantly recognisable voice. A truly classic album.

A timeless classic!

Few artists have broken onto the scene like Christopher Cross did in 1980 - nor disappeared just as quickly a few years laters. Listening to this debut once again is like re-acquainting yourself with an old friend, and is a powerful reminder of just how he deserved his Grammy haul. The opener "Say You Will Be Mine" is great west-coast pop (with the wonderful Nicolette Larson on backing vocals), "I Really Don't Know Anymore" is the smash that never was (Michael Macdonald's management blocked it as a follow-up to "Ride Like The Wind" as it also featured Michael and they felt he was being taken advantage of), "Ride Like The Wind" is a brilliant, evocative single, as is the peaceful, reflective "Sailing". What marks the album out, though, is the depth - no filler, just great song after great song, and a brilliant slice of laid-back US soft-rock. Buy this, download "Arthur's Theme" and you have the cream of Christopher Cross.

WHAT A GREAT ALBUM

I bought this album on vinyl when it first came out and played it endlessly. Unfortunately when my record deck gave out some 10 years ago I never replaced it in digital format. Someone reminded me of the the Album a few days ago so I was pleased that Amazon stocked it. I am listening to it as I write this review and it sounds as fresh as when I heard it for the first time all those years ago with the soulfull voices of Chris & Mike McDonald. Despite being a great musician and songwriter I always thought his other albums were never to the same standard as shown in this early promise. However I think this album stands the test of time and even if it is the only album you ever buy of his work I dont think you will be dissapointed. They say that the music we listen to is the window of our lives; thanks for the memories.

One of the Finest Albums Ever Made

This is quite simply one of the best albums ever, with numerous classics on board. It was so different at the time and one of the first albums to be digitally recorded. It won ‘Album of the Year’ and an incredible 5 Grammys in total.I was only 26 when this came out in 1979 and I played it to death. It still sounds so fresh and just brilliant to listen to. The clarity is just stunning. Shortly after this he recorded the wonderful Arthur’s Theme – one of the best songs ever recorded.If you haven’t got this in your collection then you should have!

This a Classic !!

Christopher Cross at his best. Most of his best work is here. Well produced. Good for a car trip or housework !!

nice

Everyone raved about this when it came out. I still like it largely because it has tunes and you can sing along with it if you are of that sort of mind!Buying it on CD rather than my now old record (its a bit like owning 78's showing your age) but I guess sooner or later there won't be any CD's either.

Original and the best

I bought this on Amazon 10 years ago, but recently listened to it fully on vinyl. I'd forgotten just what an excellent album this is. The fact it was Cross' debut makes it even more special. Have a listen, I urge you!
