Stewart & Kyle – Isn’t It Strange – 1978

This is the second album of theirs that we’ve featured and I still can’t find out anything about them. This is their second albumand it appears to be U.K. only release except that it was re-released in Germany in 1993 on CD. I have discovered that Chris Kyle has continued his music career as a studio musician and actually appears on lots of projects and is still working currently. Alistair Stewart appears to have moved on from a recording career as there is no activity from him after 1992. This album is also firmly in the easy listening category with a couple upbeat tracks. Some real talent in these guys and I’m surprised this didn’t get an American release. Anyway enjoy the soothing sounds of Stewart & Kyle.

Stewart & Kyle – Temporary Residence – 1980

Here is another artist that I can find very little information on. Stewart & Kyle were Alistair Stewart and Chris Kyle and this was actually their 3rd album. They actually had 5 albums so I am surprised I can’t find any info on them. It appears the album was also only released in the U.K., though I’m not positive of that. The album was released in 1980 and there appears to have been a CD release in 1989 but again I can’t prove that. I really hate it when I can’t tell you anything about an album but someone asked if we could post it so we are doing it. The album is Easy Listening / AOR and is really good. This isn’t my preferred style of music but I have to admit I listened to this album a couple times as it is really well done. I’m looking forward to finding more of their albums as I quite liked this one.
