What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Nature Boy in full force on this ninth release. A few people loving, but more nature loving songs on this one. From
the title track to the beautiful Calypso. This is the follow up to John's best selling studio album, Back Home
Again. It lives up to that one for me. Seven love tracks and nothing I don't like. His second and last album to make
#1 on both the pop and country chart. Four singles charting, with I'm Sorry taking #1, Calypso #2, Fly Away #13, and
Looking For Space #29. All love tracks for me. I see Olivia Newton-John does backing vocals on Fly Away, beautiful.
Only a couple of country flavored tracks on here (Late Nite Radio, Love Is Everywhere), enough to keep those fans
satisfied as well. My fav is John's tribute to Jacques Cousteau, Calypso.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Spirit

Best Track - Calypso

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as the wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
