Watch Me Come Alive

Sir Cliff Richard

Redemption

WE SAY

This is the opening track on a charity album being put out by our friends at Redemption for The Chicken Shed Theatre album. Now, charity albums are all well and good but we were dreading the music. What a pleasant surprise this was then. It's not Cliff's Christmas single but we suspect it would be massive hit if it were. A very hooky track that sounds like it was written by George Harrison circa 1987.
