This Canadian singer/songwriter established himself as a popular acoustic guitar solo artist here in the UK, often as an opening act for more popular artists. This 1981 album was released by the newly formed Marshalls label and included contributions from some top session players including some great guitar work from Bryn Haworth. The whole thing was helmed by John Pantry with some nice musical flourishes keeping things interesting. The opening cut "Resting In Your Love" is musically cut from the same cloth as Haworth's "We're All One". Other highlights include the swampier "You Don't Get Me" and the title track which has a strong groove and some great punchy horns. There are moments when it feels like the spirit of '70s Cliff Richard lives on in these tracks like on the upbeat "His Love Is Real", "Roll With The Flow" and the poppy "Foolish Children". The absolute standout track is the closer "Some Kind Of Madness" with its very clever lyrics and catchy chorus.
