The 2nd album as solo after his departure from The Commotions. This is orchestral and mostly very calm music with nice use of orchestra, accordion and harmonica but it gets way too boring for me. The singing isn't very uplifting either, with Cole's deep voice, but I suppose it fits the music. It rocks a bit sometimes but overall it's very dull, but anyway there are some decent melodies on this record. It has got some good reviews over the years.
Side A is played by an orchestra and side B by a band. The album reached nr.21 in the UK and nr.7 in Sweden.
