The 1980 Listening Post - Firefall - Undertow

 Firefall - Undertow



March 1980

Firefall

Undertow

Genre: Southern Rock

3.5 out of 5





Highlights:

Love that Got Away

Leave it Alone



This one’s got everything you’d expect from the 70s. Cowbell. Keyboards. Flutes. And it all kind of works. I mean, yes, it’s soft rockin’ stuff but it’s pleasant in that Eaglesy way. 

It takes a while before anything remotely crunchy shows up but the multi-tracked Starland Vocal Band vocals on “Laugh or Cry” mellow it out to a sweet little confection. 

There’s not a lot to write home about here. The two highlighted tracks are the best but it’s not a terrible record. I would probably be okay if it came on randomly while in the hot tub.
