The winning formula of Cliff and Alan Tarney goes way back to this album. This was the template for Cliff Richard's 80's work. Unashamedly pop/rock, this album is a powerhouse of driving, relentless pop music. It wasn't heavy and it didn't contain any earth-shattering message. It was just GREAT MUSIC. "Take another look", "Anything I can do", Give a little bit more" and "Im no hero" all rocked. There were two excellent hit singles "A little in love" and "Dreamin". Who could forget "In the night", "Here(so doggone blue)" and "A heart will break"? The superb "Everyman" rounded off the album in fine style. This album is my all-time favourite Cliff album STILL-it just drives along and doesn't bother to stop! Whenever I play it, I just HAVE to sing along to these songs, all of them. I recommend playing this in your car (driving down the motorway) very LOUD and I defy you not to sing along! Essential Cliff buy.

Cliff's 1980 album "I'm No Hero" is a true classic and one of Cliff's best albums of all time. The reason is simple: great songs, great vocals, great production! Cliff and Alan Tarney capitalize on catchy hooks and creamy vocals. Cliff's sound is crystal-clear, rocking, passionnate and aching. He is exuberant on "Give A Little Bit More", luscious on "Here (So Doggone Blue)" to soul-baring on "Dreamin", "Anything That I Can Do" and "Take Another Look" and heart-wrenching ("A Heart Will Break"...Cliff sounds so hurt on this. Hauntingly beautiful throughout, but especially on "In The Night" and "Everyman" - sensual! The title track is particularly catchy but still faithful to the album's soulful groove. There are just NO fillers and NO weak songs on this. This is consistent! Alan Tarney on bass and Trevor Spencer on drums are great. This album is definitely one of Cliff's finest performances and this is probably Cliff's best album of the 1980s. Alan Tarney (who basically wrote practically all of this, not to mention the classic "We Don't Talk Anymore" is incredibly talented. The bonus track "Keep On Looking", the b-side of "A Little In Love", is as good as anything on the album and sees Cliff singing at the top of his range. Buy this and see for yourself just HOW good Cliff is and also you have GOT to see him live!

"I'm no hero, I won't get the glory, I'm the one who's left behind". Quite apt, really, when you think of the way that Cliff has been treated by a lot of people in recent years, he could have been singing about the way he is often overlooked when the history of rock and roll is written about. Well, ignore these ommissions and listen to this album, I cannot think of any other album from a British artist or group from the early 1980's that sounds as undated as this one from Cliff. There are a lot of great songs on this CD from the excellent singles Dreamin' and A Little In Love to the brilliant album tracks such as Take Another Look, I'm No Hero and the heart wrenching A Heart Will Break Tonight. This was Cliff's best album until Always Gaurenteed after 1976's I'm Nearly Famous and really does deserve a much bigger audience than it originally recieved in 1980. If you are under the impression that Sir Cliff Richard is bland and predictable then may I suggest that you buy this CD and see for yourself that you could not be further from the truth!
