best of 3 outstanding "solo" albums, North Star, Surf and now Western skies. Songs such as Bowie tribute "Rock god" and the best song that Roddy has written "world in worlds" define this album as a classic. Roddy gets better as he gets older

First of all, I'm not one of those who believes Roddy's early work was his best. In fact, I consider later work such as "Frestonia" and "Dreamland" among his best. "Western Skies", however, even outshines these. From the hauntingly beautiful opening title track, this CD demands you sit up and listen to Roddy's emotive voice, poetic lyrics, and vituoso guitar playing. It's a shame he hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves. When I went to a local US Virgin Megastore looking for this CD, after spelling the name to the clerk, he reported he didn't have it, and most of his stuff was "out of print". Oh well. On the other hand I kind of enjoy having this as my very own personal music. But do yourself a favor and buy this CD. If you're not captivated by it like I was, I can't help you.

I have listened to Roddy Frame's music since 1983 when Aztec Camera's High Land, Hard Rain came out. He is an amazing singer/songwriter/guitarist. There has always been an amazing depth to his music, even when he was just a teenager starting out. He has matured over the years and so has his music. Like another reviewer said, He just keeps getting better and better. If there is anyone who deserves to have success it is Roddy Frame. Buy this album, buy all of his albums! You will not be disappointed.
