Country Life

Released

One of the pillars of 1980s lovers rock (the British reggae subgenre characterized by smooth, romantic songs), Sandra Cross did some of her best work at the Ariwa studio with producer Mad Professor on the board. Country Life is perhaps the strongest album from this period of her career; accompanied by session players including the great Steelie & Clevie bass/keyboards duo, Cross croons her way through classic material like the title track, “Break Up to Make Up,” and “I Hope” — while Mad Professor provides gentle production during the vocal tracks and then extends them with his trademark wild dub mixes.
