LP #29 Iain Matthews – Stealin’ Home (1978)

Since I actually discussed this album in an earlier post, I thought I’d use this entry to include some later thoughts on it from Iain himself, borrowed from an interview he did in conjunction with the 2014 re-release of the CD:
 
This album was very much a conscious attempt at something a little more AOR, without deserting my roots. … For me, it served a purpose. … In hindsight, I like the album. It has some very special moments, and it did precisely what it was supposed to do. It raised my profile, without lowering my credibility.
