What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Moody Blues flutist, but Ray just does vocals here. If memory serves this was a period where the group took some time off to pursue solo gigs. Not a break up, just each wanting to do their own thing I guess. Ray was one of the lesser known members, not getting many solo singing opportunities. Not sure why, his voice is pleasant enough, maybe not much range. This was the second of Rays solo projects, and I think I liked the first one better, From Mighty Oaks. This one still plays out ok, with a couple of bad tracks and one gem. The album was not of much interest here in the states with a peak of #147. Can't see that it even charted in the U.K.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - One Night Stand

Best Track - Carousel

The world's like a big carousel
turning in space with the whole human race hanging on
but the sounds that are played on that penny arcade
turn me on
Then I need a little romance
if you play me that song
then you'll get me to dance
I can dance
sing me a slow song and maybe then I'll take a chance
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
Oh I need some loving tonight
someone to hold me and make me feel alright tonight
and I can't explain why the whole human race
wants to fight
For the world is a beautiful place
so small but it's all that we have to stand on
you and I
so won't you join me on my carousel in the sky
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
