In 1970, Edward Woodward was starring in the popular TV show 'Callan', playing an agent of the British security services. This album of ballads was released and included a vocal song based on the theme from the series and using an image on the cover showing Woodward in character. The rest of the album is made up of songs unrelated to the show, all broadly dealing with themes of alienation and loneliness. 'The Tide Will Turn For Rebecca' was written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John and given to Woodward to record. Woodward's voice may be an aquired taste, but the album is rather well produced and quite a pleasant experience. Again, long unavailable, this is taken from my mint vinyl copy.1. This Man Alone

ReplyDeleteMy mother had a big crush on Edward Woodward and I grew up with this LP. I knew these arrangements of Sound of Silence and Scarborough before I ever heard S&G original. Thanks for the upload - I still have my mother's copy but it's well short of mint. She played it A LOT.
