Listening to this group is refreshing change from today's hard driving, angry rock music. I would classify Unicorn as country rock. The band members are Kevin Smith, Pete Perrier, Pat Martin, and Ken Baker. They are from England. All the songs are produced by David Gilmour of Pink floyd fame and he does play steel guitar on some songs, but there is little or no resemblance to any of Floyd's or Gilmour's work. Baker did write and sing "No way out of here" which Gilmour made famous in 1978. Unicorn's version is considerably crisper and cleaner. There are no songs from their first album "Uphill all the way" which Gilmour did not produce, and this music is totally different from that first album. Except for the single "I'll believe in you" this music came from their last three albums, Blue Pine Trees, Too Many Crooks, and One More Tomorrow. My only disappointment is that they left out some truely wonderful songs. None of the songs written by Kevin Smith are included in this release. If you like this CD you might want to pick up the original albums. This music is simple and uncluttered, mellow and soothing. They know what a broken heart feels like, and they put it to music. In many ways it reminds me of Kris Kristofferson's version of "Me and Bobbi McGee", or Gordon Lightfoot's "Early morning rain". It's the kind of album you can play over and over and never tire of.
