Too often I find that recent albums from my favorite artists of the 70s either reach too far in trying to recapture the magic from those earlier times and end up sounding like a sad imitation, or are just lifeless attempts to cash in on their names. Happily, Grahan Gouldman of 10cc fame has produced an album of really good songs done in his own style. Clearly Mr. Gouldman knows how to write a catchy tune, and he provides a dozen very likeable songs on "Love and Work" - I was really surprised how strong these songs are. He's in great voice throughout and the production is top notch.
The album is dedicated to Andrew Gold, his one time partner in Wax, who sadly passed away last year. His paean to Gold, "Daylight", is very touching.
This is a class album from a real pro. He's not breaking any new ground here, but when pop music is done this well, people need to take notice.

Bought this on the strength of the two earlier Amazon reviews and I listened to the CD in the car yesterday going to a football match. It's very good indeed! The opening track "The Halls of Rock n' Roll" is excellent melodically and lyrically and the album just carries on that way. I was stuck in traffic which can make me impatient about what I'm listening to but as this CD played on I could only think how good each track was. Sound quality and production is superb - there's some lovely melodic guitar inter-play work. The whole thing is a gem. Probably won't be bought by many but that's their loss.
....and Graham - thanks for "Bus Stop", "No Milk Today" and "Pamela Pamela" - as good as anything from the Sixties (Beatles excluded....). Happy memories.

Master Songsmith still at work
I would not have got this prior to seeing GG and his latest 10cc incarnation on tour last year. These songs still have a 60s and 70s vibe in their construction and many feel like... Read more

A lovely, luscious album, radiating positivity. Unfortunately, Graham has kept the better stuff to later in the album (Any Day, Crying Time again). Read more
