"Songs written by Chris DeBurgh have a special way of effecting the people who listen to them. Sometimes funny, always moving, his lyrics make you think. He takes you to distant places and times. And he makes you enjoy the entire journey. I, for one, wish to thank him for his study of human nature."

Theatrical lyric brilliance

"Chris DeBerg has the rare gift for making you think as well as listen. I first heard this album in '74 and little has topped it since. The title cut "Spanish Train" helped me sort out things important in my life and "A Spaceman Came Traveling" reinforced my sense of wonder. The other tracks did that also. Some of the tunes like "Patricia the Stripper" bring a smile and "Old Friend" and "The Tower" provoke feelings that are both emotional and honest. The other five songs are high quality that deserves a listen and a thought."
