This is genius at it's best
Review written by Rutles, August 16th, 2004
This is where it all began for me. I was 15 when this album came out and I will never forget walking into my brothers flat and hearing this for the first time. He had just bought it. I listened in wonder for about ten minutes, walked out the door and bought it straight away. I have never looked back or regretted it.
I am still hooked on Lindsey, and was more excited then I ever recall at seeing him this year. This man is a genius who brinks, sometimes, on the eccentric. He is a unique and gifted performer who's album still thrills me to this day. I love Doing What I Can with the Big Love background music.
Surrender The Rain, Wrong, Countdown, the list is endless. This album goes from one perfect song to another. At one point I had the video for Wrong and am sorrowed that I can't replace it. I have always thought that the world should know this man's name, that it should be as common as BB King, or Eric Clapton, and all the other guitar greats, but he isn't.
If you want something brilliant, original, refreshing and outstanding buy this album. Then go and hunt down a copy of Go Insane, and if you can, find a copy of Buckingham Nicks. I promise that you will never regret it.
This man is a genius

This album is put together in such a way that you can tell it was composed over the course of several years. Some of the songs sound like out-takes from Tango In The Night, or rather the other way around. Examples of this can be found in "Soul Drifter", "Surrender The Rain", and especially on "Doing What I Can" which sounds like "Big Love" just sped up. The bulk of the tracks sound like they were written after the Tango In The Night era and more like early 90's pop, and surprisingly it all hangs together nicely. Interestingly the lyrics "Somebody's got to see this through, All the world is laughing at you, Somebody's got to sacrifice, If this whole thing's gonna turn out right" from "You Do Or You Don't" were later used on The Dance in "Bleed To Love Her", listen you'll see!! Over all this is a surprisingly good album considering that almost anything that current, or former members of Fleetwood Mac produced from 1987 to 1997 (i.e. Street Angel, Time, Behind The Mask) seemed to be a dissapointment. The only thing dissapointing about this album is that more people didn't hear it.

With two magnificent solo albums to his credit, former Fleetwood Macster and California's reigning latter-day pop eccentric pulls off the hat trick. Sharp attention to harmony, melody, and production pays off in this largely one-man show; there is plenty of heart-stopping material here. Label is leading with the quirky "Wrong," but "Countdown' and "You Do Or You Don't," melodic rockers in the great Mac tradition, and trancelike "All My Sorrows" sound like winners, among too many others to list. Pop craft has never been marshaled quite so brilliantly. (Billboard Magazine, 6/20/92)
