David Martin returns with his second album. It’s more uptempo than his first offering and much better in my opinion but unfortunately this is the last album we would get from Martin. I am surprised we didn’t get more albums from him as this album was another successful album. It had 3 singles, Eyes Of A Child which made it to #10, You’re To Blame to #5, and Rock Me made it to #27. The good news is that we enjoyed his music through the rest of the 80’s as he wrote songs for the Imperials, Margaret Becker, Geoff Moore and the Distance and Sandi Patty. So we heard as much by him as we did of him. I strongly suggest you give this album a listen, it’s not a heavy Rock & Roll album but it’s an upbeat easy listening album.

Another of my most loved and listened to albums of the 80’s!
Listen to ‘Galvanica – Night Lights in Japan’ and ‘David Martin – It’s Impossible’.
I think ‘Night Lights in Japan’ was done 1 year after David Martin release and the reason I’m putting these two together for a spin is that I find some similar DNA in both. Anyway, thank you for posting this record (I like the heavy disco funk taste of the bass guitar on this album quite a lot!).
Definitely some shared DNA
