Released only a year their first album ("Firefall"), "Luna Sea" proved Firefall the kings of the smooth AM country-rock sound. "Luna Sea" yielded them a hit (#11) with "Just Remember I Love You" (Timothy B. Schmidt of Poco fame lends a helping hand with background vocals) and another minor hit with "So Long."
This album is just as strong as their first outing, with standout tracks including So Long, Just Remember I Love You and Sold On You. It's a pity there are no sound bites to listen to, but if you liked the first album, just buy it! Try and find the Rhino re-issue with three bonus tracks and great liner notes.
In my opinion, internal squabbling, substance abuse and perhaps just plain lack of a break, prevented these guys from being as big as the Eagles. This album, along with the following Elan and Undertow albums are fantastic examples of songwriting craft, tight harmonies and superb musicianship. Get 'em all!!
I never could figure out why the called it Luna Sea, Then it dawned on me "Lunacy" as in madness.
