NICK HEYWARD - 1983 - 1986 (2 ALBUMS)
"NORTH OF A MIRACLE" 1983 WHEN IT STARTED TO BEGIN - The opening track is an orchestral based, breezy Pop song, similar to Nick's former band Haircut 100 but more accomplished in style. BLUE HAT FOR A BLUE DAY - One of my favourite 80s songs not just by Nick. A minimal, melodious Pop ballad, with a memorable chorus and great lyrics proving Nick was a very underrated songwriter and possibly still is. Lovely song. TWO MAKE IT TRUE - A track with a slight Country twang interspersed with some bright jazzy Pop. Another great tune. ON A SUNDAY - Reminds me a little of The Police and Men At Work with a little of The Cars, almost Reggae Pop Rock. Sophisticated and classy. CLUB BOY AT SEA - Lots of different orchestral and effects but this is probably my least favourite on the album, its a slow tempo kind of Pop ballad. On such a great debut album this is probably my filler. WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - A simply brilliant Pop
