Re-imagining the fabled tale of a folklore favourite has been the latest creative challenge for Chris de Burgh. The compelling result breathes music and lyrical life into a centuries-old and much-loved classic.'The Legend of Robin Hood' finds Chris at his imaginative best, re-telling the story with cinematic vision coupled seamlessly to music of emotional depth and power. The concept for the 27th studio album by Chris emerged from his involvement in 'Robin Hood', a stage musical about the infamous Sherwood Forest nobleman and his band of outlaws. Chris was invited to contribute storylines and melodies to the musical, which will be produced later in the year."Since I was writing songs for this," he explains, "I thought 'Why not expand the story and put an album out, too?'".'The Legend of Robin Hood' is an album of evocative escapism and a tonic for our troubled times.

Master storyteller at his best
This album, while on a different subject, felt like a follow-up to "Moonfleet" in scope and grandeur. All the songs weave together to tell a familiar yet interesting take of "The Legend of Robin Hood." As with "Moonfleet," there are songs that stand on their own such as "Live Life, Live Well" and "I'm Falling In Love (All Over Again). While these gems can be enjoyed on their own, taking the time to listen to the album from start to finish is a treat and worth making time for. Another outstanding musical masterpiece from Chris de Burgh.

Very entertaining
CdeB's last musical offering (Moonfleet) contained some good songs but seemed to require quite a lot of narration to get you through the story which isn't ideal for an album you want to listen to a lot. This album has no narration, the story is clearly told only using the songs and there are some good ones. It's a perfect score for a musical, whilst also a very enjoyable album the fans can enjoy. I had the bonus disk and Chris is very good on this live performance.
