Dan Hill - Love In The Shadows (1983) [1984, Reissue]

Posted By: BlondStyle

Renowned singer-songwriter Daniel Hill born in Ontario, Canada, of US parents. He studied guitar in his teens, leaving high school at 17 to work as a songwriter for RCA. Through his career has won five Canadian Junos, one Grammy, five SOCAN Awards for outstanding radio airplay in Canada, and six ASCAP Awards and one BMI Award for airplay in the USA. As solo artist is mostly known by pop / westcoast hits, but around 1983 he couldn’t resist the sound that was ruling the airwaves. “Love In The Shadows” is his more AOR, ‘hip’ album to date. The title track is a nifty, radiable poppish AOR tune with clean guitars and compressed drums. “Helpless” is another aorish tune adorned with quirky keyboards, a ‘soundtrack – type’ song. You can’t deny the quality of the syruped ballad “In Your Eyes”. Cheesy, yes, but awesome. Next, “Just In Time” is an infectious pop in the Alan Gorrie or Adrian Gurvitz mood. The westcoast ballad “You Pulled Me Through” contains the greatest Hill’s vocal performance on this album. Deep and emotional. The AC (Adult Contemporary) AOR “Where You Gonna Run To” is pure class, followed by “Something Ain’t Right” were Dan sounds like AOR masters Maxus. “Don’t Know Where It Comes From” is wonderful and inspired. “Thru To You” ups the tempo again, a great AOR keyboard sustained track, simple but effective. The session personnel of this album is unlisted, but I’m pretty sure that the guitars are in charge of the great Michael Landau. Just listen the solo and the overwhelming last minute of pure soloing. Great. Last track, the slow “Old Lady Song” features another inspired performance by Hill. “Love In The Shadows” obviously, it’s on the lightweight side of the AOR genre. Production as usual on Dan Hill albums is top notch, and the musicians involved done their job perfectly. This album it’s really hard to find, as never has been released in the USA. Also the CD version is megarare.

~Review by melodic-hardrock

Consisting of mainly commonplace singer/songwriter material, Dan Hill's "Love in the Shadows" proved to be one of his most uninspired albums. Only the title track garnered any attention, a melodious pop tune led by Hill's half-whispered voice. Other tracks from the album, such as "In Your Eyes" and "Don't Know Where It Comes From," resemble the same type of adult contemporary softness that Dan Fogelberg or James Taylor produce; flashbacks of lost loves, reminiscing about the innocence of youth, and the overt struggle with middle age. Nothing from Love in the Shadows matches the genuine tenderness of 1977's "Sometimes When We Touch" that gave him a number three single, or equals the romanticism of "Can't We Try," his duet with Vonda Sheppard in 1987. Hill's songwriting is short on inspiration and long on insipidness, pulled tediously by lackluster guitar/piano combinations. Now deleted, even the title track fails to appear on The Best of Dan Hill, which was released in the late 1990s.
