On 2004's The Road to Freedom , power-pop pioneer Chris de Burgh mined the rich seam of British folk to construct an emotive yet relatively unsentimental set of songs. Perhaps buoyed by the critical success of the album – it was largely hailed as a return to form -- he now returns with another 'concept' album, Story Man , which this time explores the idea of story-telling throughout different global cultures. Comprised of 12 tracks -- six of them recored at Abbey Road during a live session with 90 members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - the album is more epic in scope than its pared-down predecessor and inevitably calls upon a variety of vocalists and musicians from around the world. The London Russian Choir appear on the yearning wartime ballad "Leningrad", Egyptian vocalist Hani Hussein sings on the Middle-Eastern tinged "My Father's Eyes", and renowned female African group The Mahotella Queens chant beautifully for the questing "Spirit". However, not every track is a success. Though the album flows coherently, there is a marked difference in quality between, for example, the restrained folk of "Mirror Of The Soul" to the alarmingly clichéd "One World" or the schmaltzy "The Sweetest Kiss Of All". An ambitious and impassioned project it may be, but the results are at times rather mixed just the same. --Paul Sullivan
