A Stunning Record

This was the first studio album I heard by Christopher Cross since his 1982 release "Another Page". I lost track of him after that. In 2000, I saw him in concert, looking forward to hearing the old hits from the 80's but came away in astonishment over his more recent recordings including the ones on this album. Saying it's an amazing record doesn't even come close to giving it the praise it deserves. Every track sounds like a hit song to me. The production is outstanding ... you can tell that a lot of effort was put into making this a high quality record. Instead of "Red Room", a more appropriate name is Greatest Hits Volume 2. I think it's better than his debut album. After hearing this, I bought the rest of his catalog and have been in heaven ever since! You will not be disappointed! Some upbeat tracks, some soul searching ones, and some just plain fun, all the songs are fantastic. His guitar work is superb and his vocals are just as beautiful as they were 20 years ago. Christopher never lost his magical touch.

Topnotch music

A splendid album from Christopher Cross with a wide range of material beautifully performed with intriguing arrangements. Cross is still suffering from the sin of making one of the most honored debut albums in history but has sailed on through the years turning out excellent album after excellent album. He's lyrical, musical, intelligent and an original. Each new album is a great surprise and he never varies from top quality. This album originally appeared as part of the double-C.D. set "Walking in Avalon."
