Smokie - Living Next Door To Alice
Review by Mister P
Living Next Door to Alice is an album by British rock band Smokie, released in 1977. The album features the band’s signature blend of rock, pop and country music, with catchy melodies and beautiful harmonies.
The album’s title track, “Living Next Door to Alice,” is a classic rock ballad that tells the story of a man who is in love with his neighbor, but can never be with her. The song became a massive hit for the band, reaching number five on the UK singles chart.
Other standout tracks on the album include “It’s Your Life,” “Wild Wild Angels,” and “Don’t Play Your Rock ‘n’ Roll to Me,” all of which showcase the band’s talent for crafting memorable pop-rock tunes.
The album’s production is polished and professional, with crisp guitar riffs, tight drumming, and lush harmonies. The band’s vocal performance is particularly impressive, with lead singer Chris Norman delivering emotive and soulful performances throughout.
