The Blue Nile
A Walk Across The Rooftops
3.5 out of 5
I don’t know what to make of this record. Is it a Broadway soundtrack in search of a show? Is it Jazz? What the hell is it?
Some of it works and makes me long for more, like “From Rags to Riches”, some it makes me want to walk in the rain alone in New York at 3 in the morning (Easter Parade).
Some of it sounds like blue eyed soul met David Bowie for a drink, the decided to go back in time and see West Side Story, got very high and attempted to write a musical together.
I don’t know if I recommend it. I don’t know if I will ever listen to it again. It’s affective at times and off putting at others.
How’s that for a no-opinion opinion?
