OK, I've got to admit that until this album cropped up I'd never heard of Glass Tiger, and certainly had no idea that they'd managed two Top 40 singles in this country, of which this was already the second. They turn out to have been a Canadian rock group fronted by the Scottish-born Alan Frew. That's still no excuse for him to have come up with this awful pseudo-Caledonian treacle, the sort of thing Simple Minds would have rejected as too overdone.
So corny and sentimental is the longing for "Scotia" that it's hardly a surprise when Rod Stewart turns up halfway through (at least I presume that the version they'll have used here, though there's also one
without him). This is no 'In A Broken Dream,' though.
