at
the time
|
After
the hard work to sound varied and lively on his debut, Christo
wanted to make a more laid back album with a mellow atmosphere
throughout.
He chose to do it with his Talking Fish trio and focus on their
excellent harmonies. He had a lot of new songs to bring to the
album.
This also marked the time CC worked with Vikki Clayton - he
had just assited with her demos for her Movers & Shakers
album and plucked up courage to asked her to sing on this album.
He went on to join her band. It was at this time he started
touring Germany.

retrospect
|
A
very warm feeling album. The presence of Vikki Clayton on the
album at a time when she hadn't had a release for a while did
wonders for sales, especially when he played gigs with her.
He also realised after making this album how many tracks were
to do with journeys and distances - something he puts down to
moving home a lot as a child.
