about

This is arguably Hanlon’s best album of the 1970s in terms of sound and song quality. It featured his Number One hit Lovely Lady, the soaring Higher Trails and a raft of songs that showcased a songwriter at the top of his game supported by sensational arrangements, brilliant musicians and production standards the equal of anything recorded on the planet at that time.
