Michael Franks' first album of the '90s and his first in three years was a complete return to form and his best album since 1979's Tiger in the Rain. Meditative, lush and clearly the work of an artist intent on making personal music regardless of trends or airplay, Blue Pacific is as open and beautiful as the ocean for which it is named. The return of the production team of Tommy LiPuma and Al Schmitt doesn't hurt either, and with such veteran pros as Dean Parks, John Guerin, John Patitucci and Peter Erskine on board, how could Franks miss? With additional production and engineering support by Walter Becker and Roger Nichols, the Steely Dan connection, previously hinted at, was finally made, with great results. It's pointless to single out individual songs, since this is very much a complete, unified work. The album marked a total rebirth for Franks. ~ Steve Matteo

Blue Pacific Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Michael Does it Again!
Michael Franks accomplishes that popular mellow, light jazz sound once again with "Blue Pacific". I especially like the piano parts done by Joe Samples on Art of Love and his other pieces that he does on various Franks albums. Very Cool!
