Firefall -1st Album

Firefall
Firefall's debut album established the group's reputation of soaring harmonies, excellent lyrics and melodies, and expert musicianship. They followed this with four equally impressive albums: "Luna Sea", "Elan," "Undertow," and "Clouds Across the Sun".

Frontmen Rick Roberts and Larry Burnett share writing and vocals on this excellent album.
Opening with the melodic IT DOESN'T MATTER, co-written with Stephen Stills, the album glides along with noteworthy tracks: Burnett's folksy mid-tempo LOVE ISN'T ALL; Roberts' driving LIVIN AIN'T LIVIN, a precursor to SO LONG; the infectious rocking NO WAY OUT; the lovely and poignant DOLPHIN'S LULLABY; the elegant and lyrical CINDERELLA; Burnett's SAD OLD LOVE SONGS; the group's biggest hit YOU ARE THE WOMAN; the energetic MEXICO (one of my personal faves); and the bluesy DO WHAT YOU WANT.

This is an excellent debut album and highly recommended.
