REVIEWS
Average points: 4.37 (Reviews: 19)
*****
hübscher pop song aus dem jahr 1979.
*****
Klasse Refrain, überhaupt recht schöne Stimmung. Der Engländer kam damit im Spätsommer 1979 sogar auf Platz 12 in den USA.
*****
Guter, eingänginger Song. Kann ich mir immer wieder anhören.
****
Und er blieb mit diesem für mich typischen Radio-Sound ein One Hit Wonder in den USA. Zu der Zeit des Erfolges mit diesem Lied war er übrigens mit Country-Star Carlene Carter verheiratet.
****
schöner klassiker
******
eine mischung aus tom petty und jeff lynne...schöner sound

gab bessere songs in den 70ern
****
Nett, vielleicht einige Jahre zu spät
****
ganz unterhaltsam.
*****
starke Nummer toller Sound
******
Super!
****
Irgendwie nett, heiter und beschwingt -also Uplifting.
****
sehr nett, ich hab auch gleich an Tom Petty gedacht..
****
Naja, nett anzuhören.
****
Ja, ganz nettes Liedchen dieses Inbegriffs eines englischen
Gentlemans, aber er hatte natürlich schon noch ein paar
bessere zu bieten....

4 +
****
flott eingespielter, charmant vorgetragener Titel – 4+...auch in UK auf #12 gestanden (Oktober 1979)...
****
Typischer englischer Chart-Pop aus dieser Zeit
****
Freundlich höflicher Pub-Pop vom ewig unterschätzten Nick Lowe!
***
Ausreichender Titel aus dem September 1979, welcher etwas Liedermachermäßig daherkommt und meiner Meinung nach seiner Zeit hinterherläuft. 1979 gab es wesentlich bessere Produktionen. Stammt aus dem Album "Labour Of Lust". Auf der B-Seite der Titel: "Endless Grey Ribbon".
