COLIN BLUNSTONE The Ghost Of You And Me (2009 UK 10-track CD album - From the opening bars of the title track, 'The Ghost Of You And Me', it is clear that the 13-year wait has been worth it as Colin's trademark voice bridges gentle rhythms and searing guitar solos perfectly. On 'Follow', the rhythm is solid whilst stopping short of being overpowering and, augmented by some intricate keyboards, provides the perfect platform for Colin: rock meets pop with power and melody. Contrast thatwith 'Second Avenue', where piano and strings weave a pattern around the harmonious vocals as it gives a nod to The Zombies whilst hinting at the might of an Elton John ballad. Throughout the album Chris Gunning's [who previously worked with Colin on 'Say You Don't Mind'] strings intermingle with vocals and, whether gentle or soaring, the atmosphere enables the storyteller to bring the tale to life; 'Love Left A Long Time Ago' is just one example as, from the first listen, the listener is drawn in and sent away with an instantly memorable tune.).
