When it came out in 1993,it was lucky to have even gotten a fair review in Rolling Stone. Within a year of it's release,it was in the discount bin and then poof,gone.
Good thing TC did buy two of them. Only in the past few years have they resurfaced in used record stores. That's how I got my CD,along with "Painter".
The album as a whole to me,is one 1/2 '70s feel and two parts of '60s & '80s. A good mix of past & present,which later resurfaced on "Harmony".

I still just can't understand why most if not all of Gordon's later Albums got so unnoticed to most people. Even Shadows, in my eyes one of his best work. Same with all of the following Albums. And clearly "Waiting for you" is again very strong. Was he not getting enough promotion from his label? Did they loose interest in him, what was it? Other Artists got a lot more attention and not always deserved.
He always toured a lot, promoted himself and people came to see him, loved and appreciated him and still...I just don't get it.
