"Love & Dreams" is, as you would expect from the sub-title, a set of tunes from a musician going back to his roots. A man who grew up in the early rock’n’roll years, listening to The Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and others. These tunes are all performed with immaculate respect, rather in the style of the last few Shadows albums. As Rick has pointed out “It’s not rock’n’roll anymore, we’ve calmed down and thankfully most of you have mellowed too” Fair enough, it may not be rock’n’roll with the volume turned up to eleven, but it’s still a fine piece of work. It’s nice to be able to say that the best tune of the lot is the title track, which Rick wrote himself.
