This is Jeff’s 2nd album and was released in 1990. Right from the off, this album feels a lot more rock n roll than the exceptional ,Steal The Light. There are some pretty high profile special guests as well with George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Mark Knopfler making an appearance.
Full Circle opens up the album and it’s a great rock track with customary Jeff killer guitar, and the production is very slick. I Think I Love You Too Much has Knopfler guesting with Bv’s and trading licks with Jeff. I’m not sure what Clive Davis’ plan was for Jeff, as the first album did very well with Jeff really ripping it up (as he does when you see him live), and this is very polished and it seems as though he was being steered into the mainstream – but with no big single on the record. My favourite track is the the cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and it’s super cool that George Harrison guests with bv’s and acoustic. I do like Geoff when he rips it up, and this album is a bit too shiny for me, but it’s still a solid record.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
