Sweet (1979) Big Apple Waltz

A rousing soft rocker with a passing country feel to the plush guitar keyboards ensemble and lyrical linked to the Eagles Hollywood Waltz. It's another terrific song from their late 70s era when they embarked on diverse progressive and ballad heavy material.  It saw their songwriting at its peak away from the glam rock and bubblegum novelty of their commercial successful days. In fact front man Brian Connolly had quit the band before they recorded the Cut Above the Rest (1979) this comes from tellingly revealing the amount of talent still left in this group even after losing their main singer and creating a multi layered sound as a three piece.
