5.0 out of 5 stars De Burgh espouses a Lebanese flavor, July 20, 2003

This album is worth it if only for the incredible duet "Lebanese Night" (with Lebanese singer Elissa). The melody is instantly pleasing while the lyrics are extremely poignant. It's wonderful to note that Chris De Burgh, not unlike such artists as Sting ("Desert Rose"), is finally experimenting with Arabic music in a way that creates a truly global sound. Elissa's vocals on the track only add to its haunting quality.

When I was in college I got turned on to Chris de Burgh's unique style of music. I bought 3-4 cd's from in the mid 80's and still listen to some of the tunes on my iPod. They're a tad dated but still great music. Then I find this relatively unreleased CD on Amazon and thought "wow, I wonder if it'll be any good." So I gave it a shot and guess what? Every stinkin' song on this CD is EXCELLENT!! Chris,did you squirrel these away for the last few years and WHY isn't there a domestic U.S. release scheduled??

So, if you're a fan - stop reading and buy this CD. If you're not a fan yet, ease off the typical U.S. top 40 pop machine and try something different. Something wonderful, dare I say? His sound had become a bit more contemporary but still keeps his great, folk-ish, story telling nature. He definitely did not "sell out" like many artists did to try to make a buck.

So I hope this CD works well for Chris and I really hope he tours again, I never had the pleasure of seeing him live but now I have a glimmer of hope.

Kudos Chris, glad to see you can keep up & surpass these times.
