Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Christopher Cross
Free Music Review: Riding Like the Wind - Again - and it's great!
Hit: 5 Stars
Fortunately, someone gave me a copy of this album for Christmas this year, because I know I would not have ever picked it up for myself. It's not because I do not enjoy Cross's music - I just had so little familiarity with it. I have one scant memory of him performing "Sailing" on some television variety show when I was nine years old. Until this album, I had entirely forgotten about all those hours skating along to those three or four most familiar Cross songs that most people would remember. Listening to this album, and hearing "Ride Like the Wind" again after over twenty years, a song which I had forgotten had been one of my favorite skating songs, was such a joy!
The author of the album liner notes theorizes that Cross was knocked out of the mainstream consciousness by the advent of MTV videos, because, despite the degree of his craft, Cross was just a regular guy on the outside. If I understand the author correctly, someone (perhaps Cross himself) apparently felt he was not stylish or good-looking enough to be a successful video artist. Perhaps Cross was put off by the idea of having to make videos in order to get attention for his music. If that is the case, I don't blame him. But, times have changed, and I really believe there is a large audience of folks who are looking for the sort of well-written music Cross has demonstrated over and over again that he is capable of writing, and they long to hear great music such as this performed by artists with unique, pure voices - and Cross certainly possesses one of the most beautiful voices.
The time is right to see Mr. Cross back on TV, and if not there, at least back on the radio. In the meantime, I will enjoy this wonderful compilation of songs. Very enjoyable!
