GREEN LIGHT
What is it that just makes an album "work"? Whatever that secret ingredient is, Cliff Richard's "Green Light" has certainly got it. Each song is vibrant and exciting, the musicianship is exhilarating and passionate; (the band play with greater intensity and ardour than I have ever heard on a Cliff album) and the vocals are...(what can one say?) flawless, expressive, soulful, heart-wrenching. Cliff's voice has so much natural flair and resonance; in "Green Light", it varies from gentle and soothing ("Green Light", "Start All Over Again") to broken and tortured, ("Count Me Out", "Ease Along"), but always flows out with incredible ease and control. This album is also an excellent illustration of how Cliff can, within one song, dramatically alter both the pitch and tone of his voice. All this combines to produce a moving and poignant album, and if "Green Light" has one theme, it is, as the title suggests, the need, in a dicy or unstable situation, for the "green light" of reassurance; for instance "She's A Gypsy" is about an unhappy rich girl, and "Start All Over Again" portrays a discontented pop star. All in all, the songs have a wanting, searching, feel; how stirringly they communicate the tragedy of unfulfilled desire. All the agony of thwarted or failed love, ("Never Even Thought", "Can't Take The Hurt Anymore"), is expressed in the fervent instrumental accompaniments and above all in Cliff's skilful, spirited and penetrating vocals. Cliff's is one of the great voices, which can draw you into a song and take it to the inner reaches of the soul. So succumb to the magic of this long untouched, long undiscovered, long underrated box of treasures.

This album originally released in 1978,when I was about 11 years old,but this certainly one of my best albums to date.Although the album reached no.25 in the album charts in that year,but I was so surprised that Please Remember Me and Can`t Take the Hurt Anymore both released as singles and failed to reach the UK pop single charts at the time,but only the title track itself [one of my favourite track ever,but I wish that I could perform that myself,but I do know the actual lyrics by heart,the intro of the song title is excellently fantastically spot on]only reached no.57 in the UK charts in early 1979.Another song from the album entitled Count Me Out is also brilliantly scored,and also used as a B-side from his no.1 hit single entitled 'We Don`t Talk Anymore'in 1979.Also,this album was produced by Bruce Welch,as a matter of fact it was his last album to work with him.I say it`s a great album to treasure and also bring wonderful memories of me.

This is a great album from Cliff. It contains a fine mix of up-beat tracks and some ballads. The title track is a Cliff classic but there is much more here to enjoy - dip into the retro sounding 'She's a gypsy' or grab the kleenex and have a good howl to 'can't take the hurt anymore'. A must for all Cliff fans and a good example of late 70's Cliff for less avid collectors.

It was great to be looking in the easy listening area of Amazon's c.d's when I noticed I could get this album on c.d format, great and a welcome addition to my collection.

I am no new comer to Green Light, and as I am gradually replacing all LPs so I can listen in the car this is one CD I definitely could not do without. Read more
