Prior to listening to this album, the name 'David Ackles' meant nothing to me. When it was released, the album reached 167 on the Billboard Charts and presumably did nothing in the United Kingdom. It is genuinely a lost gem. If Scott Walker and Andrew Lloyd Webber decided to write an album together, this would be it. It won't be everyone cup of tea, but if you can look beyond the theatrics you will find a great collection of songs. It's a shame it doesn't appear to be available to buy anywhere.
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Track: Oh! California
