"MUSIC ROW SONGWRITER Jim Photoglo has written hits for everyone from Trisha Yearwood to Kenny Rogers to John Anderson to Faith Hill. The one-time member of Run-C&W enjoyed a fairly successful recording career in the early '80s, scoring on the American pop charts and gaining a sizeable following in Japan. That was followed by road work with Andy Gibb, Vince Gill and Dan Fogelberg. On this self-produced and marketed album he shows himself to be an above-average vocalist possessing a warm, emotional tone that suits his easy-on-the-ear love embraces. The title tune, co-written with Wendy Waldman, features a rootsy arrangement built around Robbie Turner's dobro that enhances the simple lyric message. There's a slight jazzy feel to Spending Every Minute In Love, the distinctive Hammond B-3 organ work laid down by fellow tunesmith Vince Melamed. California songwriter Paul Williams (responsible for many of the Carpenters' hits), teamed up with Photoglo and Jon Vezner for Maybe In A Dream, a pop-flavoured song that probably owes more to Bread than Alabama. If country is your bag, listen out for The Road To Jackson County, a pure hillbilly yarn that is quite irresistable. The best comes, though, with Silence Is King, a co-write with Gary Burr, and one of the finest examples of the sheer artistry that abounds on Music Row. A songwriter's album that is highly recommended whatever your musical persuasion." Alan Cackett |
