Christopher Cross’s self-titled debut album is a landmark of late ’70s pop rock, blending smooth melodies with thoughtful arrangements by Cross himself alongside Rob Meurer and Michael Omartian. Featuring timeless tracks like “Ride Like The Wind” and “Sailing,” the album offers a refined, acoustic-driven sound that invites focused listening rather than background noise. The subtle interplay of instruments and the polished production highlight Cross’s knack for crafting songs that balance easy accessibility with musical sophistication—a bit like a well-tailored suit for your ears. This 1979 vinyl pressing presents those songs with clean, glossy grooves, showing only minor signs of light surface marks that don’t interfere with play. The artwork, credited to Danny Henderson and others, adds a visual touch that fits the album’s understated elegance. For those who appreciate a record that feels composed yet inviting, this copy holds up well with its VG++ condition, making it a solid choice for collectors who want both musical and physical quality without hunting for perfection. After all, even smooth sailing can have a few gentle ripples.
