I wish the river city people had made more albums as this cd proves just what a talent they were. Walking on ice is one of the best songs ever, carry the blame wonderful, the cover of california dreaming does not let the original down. Whats wrong with dreaming, great. My absolute fave has to be no doubt. And you are probably wondering why I bought it again, well, a gift for christmas for my niece so she could share the brilliance of it.

I first heard this River City People CD back in the early 1990s & really liked the relaxed, 'West Coast" sound the band produced for this, their first album. The lead singer, Siobhan Maher has a great voice in my opinion, & the majority of songs on the album are well written & allow her voice to really shine.

A prime slab of AOR, sweet female vocals, hints of Fleetwood Mac (mid period) and Texas combine to produce an album that trundles along at an agreeable pace! All good/ reasonable songs including a spirited version of "California dreaming" (originally by The Mamas and Papas) Nothing ground breaking, but a great album none the less. I would recomend, much underated and looked over...
Great CD. Loved this back in the early 90s. Nostalgic!!

I've had this album on cassette for many years, but decided to update to CD. Originally, I got to hear of River City People because of the single California Dreaming which is on this album. I actually prefer their cover version of the aforementioned song to the original. There are plenty of other good songs on the album though. Indeed, I can't think of a single bad track, unlike many albums you hear. This is definitely the better of the two albums that they released, in my opinion.
I've had 3 copies of this cd over the years, all the others have been borrowed by various people and not returned! I saw River City People live at Wembley, when they backed Fleetwood Mac, they were a great little band and it was a shame they never progressed further. The cd is a great mix of styles and sounds, and its music that hasn't dated. Shame its a deleted item now and hard to get hold of!
i love this band an albam shame not still going .. been trying for ever to get on cd as originally had on cassette and have now misplaced that .it so reminds me of a lovely summer i had in cornwall sometime ago with a group of friends
