The Nick Straker Band - Straight Ahead
Review by Parimal Narayan
The Nick Straker Band's album Straight Ahead is a classic example of 1980s disco music. The album features ten tracks, each with a distinct sound and style. The band's use of synthesizers and electronic drums gives the album a futuristic feel. The album's title track, "Straight Ahead," is a catchy and upbeat song that is sure to get listeners dancing. The album also features slower ballads like "The Last Goodbye" and "We Can Still Be Friends," which showcase the band's versatility. Nick Straker's vocals are smooth and soulful, and he delivers each song with passion and energy. The album's production is top-notch, and the sound quality is excellent. Straight Ahead is a must-have for fans of 80s disco music and is a great addition to any music collection.
