Carousel II - Glad To Be Alive (1978)

A yearningly romantic suite of lushly arranged lounge music, Glad To Be Alive is the first and only album from the long-forgotten premier Detroit wedding band, Carousel II. Originally self-released in 1978, the album arrived on the back of twelve years of hard graft. Underappreciated at the time, in the forty-three years since it was first released, Glad To Be Alive has aged like a fine wine, revealing a startling emotional depth and resonance within the band’s rose-tinted reflections on love.

The release comes with digital insert written by Martyn Pepperell with more info on the band.
