The 1981 Listening Post - Jon English - In Roads

 Jon English - In Roads



#694

February 8 1981

Jon English

In Roads

Genre: Rock

3.75 out of 5



Highlights:

Been in Love Before

The Shining




This is the seventh record by Australian recording artist English and it sounds like Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart had a baby.

English’s version of “Straight from the Heart” isn’t a cover. He recorded it 2 years before Adams put it on vinyl. How he got a hold of that Canadian’s song in Australia is beyond me. Wait for Bryan’s version. English’s is more angry but Bryan’s is kinder.


Hard anyone else written a song as descriptive about a book as English did in “The Shining”? 


This is pretty straight forward and dynamic rock of the 80s.
