4.0 out of 5 stars Peter Cox's voice powers 'Indian Summer', December 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Indian Summer (Audio CD)

This 1992 comeback album from Go West is remarkable in that it isn't a step down from their mid-1980s heyday. Most bands' "comeback" albums sound like they should never have been released, but Peter Cox's superb soul voice powers this recording.

With the exception of "The Sun and the Moon," side one is brilliant. The opening track, "Faithful" is a great, shout-the-chorus song, with earnest vocals, and the other hit, "King of Wishful Thinking," is an up-tempo romp. Other highlights are Kirk Whalum's sax opening on "Still in Love" and the slow cover of "What You Won't Do For Love." Unfortunately, Cox's great vocals take a holiday on the closing side one song, "The Sun and the Moon." The lyrics are sappy to the extreme, and his emotive voice overpowers this weak ballad.

Side two is a little less memorable, but still very good. Highlights are the ballad "Bluebeat" and the super "I Want You Back." On the latter track, Cox rips into a backing arrangement of Richard Drummie's that sounds different than anything Go West has recorded before. With the exception of these two songs and "A Taste of Things to Come," the side two lyrics miss the mark. "Count Me Out" sounds like a million other songs, and "Forget that Girl" could have done without the incredibly silly line: "You're gonna be walking around / With a stone in your shoe / 'Til you forget that girl."

A few minor quibbles aside, it's great that Go West could release such a wonderful comeback album, and it's disappointing that they broke up soon after this one was released.

4.0 out of 5 stars A come back album that captures the energy of their debut., September 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Indian Summer (Audio CD)

It was always going to be hard to top the power and arrangements of the first album. Peter Cox's voice is one of those unique and instantly recognised styles that sticks with you. The album migrates between hard raw tracks like "Faithful" and softer ballads as in" What you wont do for love". Peter Cox found his way in his subsequent solo album but for a while Go West were a lasting testament to great melodies and arrangements which make them a regular play choice.

This is one CD you must have in your music collection. Peter Cox's voice is amazing. He is such a great singer, his voice could melt butter. "That's What Love Can Do" is such an upbeat song, you will want to dance to this song, and replay it over and over again. If you don't have this CD, GET IT. I know I will be listening to this cd for a lifetime. Thank you!
