And now onto my final CD for the moment, the first solo album by Dave "Eurythmics" Stewart in thirteen years. The most pretentious booklet piece aside, it's actually a very good album, mixing in country music with more soft-rock sensibilities, even if the lyrics do at times reflect the short writing time of five days.
Standout tracks include 'All Messed Up', 'One Way Ticket To The Moon' and 'Bulletproof Vest'. Though it won't win any awards for originality or massively stand out tracks, it's certainly one of the better CDs I've listened to over the past couple of days and well worth picking up if you enjoy emotive, genre-crossing easy-listening soft-rock tunes.
