THE OCEAN BLUE - THE OCEAN BLUE (1989) Sire Records

Ocean Blue


The eighties were coming to an end and The Ocean Blue debuted their self-titled album. The songs are simple and defined an early Gen-X. "Between Something and Nothing," "Love Song," and "Drifting Falling" still hold their own today. The songs each lend themselves to a time when music was still pure to me, not so commercialized. my only complaint is the fact they they embraced some of the 80s cheese with the saxophone riffs, but those don't really bother me all that much. It's always great to pick up this disc because there aren't songs you just want to skip through, a true testament to a solid album.

The Ocean Blue are in studio now and will be releasing an album sometime this year with a tour to follow.
