One Step at a Time continues the hot streak George Strait began with Blue Clear Sky. It's not on par with that latter-day masterpiece, yet equals its follow-up, Carrying Your Love with Me, by offering a uniformly excellent set of songs that are all delivered with conviction from Strait. If anything, Strait is getting better with age, as he's able to give even mediocre material nuanced, impassioned performances, which is a trick younger country artists need to learn if they're ever going to have a catalog as rich and consistently rewarding as his.
One Step at a Time is the second solo studio album from legendary Satus Quo front man Francis Rossi. Francis has long been regarded as one of the finest Rock performers that the UK has ever produced and his songwriting has been duly recognized by the Classic Songwriter Award and the BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. Released 14 years after his only previous solo album, One Step at a Time is a hugely entertaining set and offers an insight into another facet of Rock's great frontmen. Francis is famous for his dry wit and lyrical dash, and this album offers a chance to get up close and personal. Includes the single, 'Faded Memory'.
