    Liner Notes »

Making a 'solo' album seems to me to be somewhat similar to taking a 'solo' space flight to the stars. You're only really solo after you lift off and even then without mission control you cannot stay on course. So to call this a solo album would be rather pretentious and down right unfactual! My love and thanks to all of you who helped so much to get this rocketship off of the ground and also to those of you working so hard to keep it on course.

Recorded in fun at "The Dell", Hollywood, CA

You simply cannot be a part of this business without the love and support of your family. Love always to my Hughie and Grace, to Gavin for supporting his part-time dad. To Gordon and Jacquie for all their help these past two years and to my dearest Melissa for still loving and supporting "The Phantom" I couldn't do it without you. And to my other "dad" ... Gary Pring my long time friend and manager whose friendship and loyalty is unquestionable.

Strong start keeps us holding on
Review written by John Fitzgerald, February 16th, 2005

Not being a fan of Glass Tiger, I was surprised I enjoyed this album as much as I did but this could just be because I was not expecting much. Mick Fleetwood plays drums on the Celtic sounding strummer "I am with you tonight" with Mick's shuffle drums approach and distinctive kick in, similar to what you may hear at the beginning of something like "Sweet girl" from "The dance". "You're the one" is a short but bright bouncy acoustic opener, "Healing hands" is the most rocking track here which has a Duran Duran feel on the choruses but still likable nonetheless. "It always feels the same" is a plinky echoing builder which works well, the title track is a good mid tempo pulser, "Learning to fly" is my favorite track with a catchy anthemic riff. This is where we start to run out of steam as "So blind" is string moaning pulse with a weak hook, "Once upon a time" is a droney chanter and it's talk/sing approach doesn't really work, "Cloud 9" is a siren like jammer with some good moments but inevitably lightweight. The chirpy choruses help the dancy verses on "If only I could dream", "I wonder why" is a piano tinkling acoustic guitar strummer (reminding me of Chris DeBurgh here) which has a pleasing sound but not a great hook and the closing "Falling at your feet" is a string swelling anthemic swayer that just doesn't gel. However, I found the first half of the album very impressive and I'd recommend it for that as those tracks on their own will give you your money's worth with a purchase on this album.
