It took me some time to adapt to the new MK sound, and every record and step forward from MK; buried more and more the GH record, specially because for any reason, apparently only Bonaparte or Rudiger were worthy songs from that record to MK, both songs I use to skip from that record.Still has songs I love like Darling pretty, No can do, Don't you get it, Vic and Ray (yes, I like that atmosphere a lot) and Are we in trouble now, but everything sounds to a very very far away MK to me, so I barely listen to this record.Almost exactly the same for me. When GH came out it was played over and over and I couldn't get enough of it. I loved the sound of MK's guitar and it was a kind of relief that he hadn't gone too far away from DS, but as other albums emerged it became much less played and although it is still a beautiful album, others have taken its place. It is such a beautiful album, and one the started the journey for us all with regards MK's solo path..funnily enough I listen to it just as much as I did. One wonders how it will sound tomorrow when I pick up the Vinyl box set!!

One wonders how it will sound tomorrow when I pick up the Vinyl box set!!When I play it nowadays, I skip all the country kind of songs, as that style clearly dissapeared in MK music, the celtic and folk ones still are represented in his music.
It's true, but sometimes I miss real pedal steel.
Yes Missing ...And Neck And Neck too.

I really wish Mark went back to the country style songs like on this album, I feel it is more him than the brass he is currently into.
