John Howard ‎– Sun Of My Life (LP)

Musically, Sun Of My Life strikes a balance between vocal pop, light rock, and the soft Dutch pop influences of the early 1980s. Although the lyrics are primarily in English, the production evokes the warm, analog studio sounds that were so characteristic of small-scale Dutch productions from that era. The album relies heavily on melodic arrangements, with the vocals playing a central—and somewhat theatrical—role.

Sun Of My Life is the quintessential album for the seasoned vinyl collector and "crate digger" specifically looking for hidden gems from Dutch music history. It is not a groundbreaking or boundary-pushing record, but it excels in pure nostalgia, solid musicianship, and a charming, laid-back 1980s atmosphere. If you come across the LP in a record store its rarity and professional lineup make it well worth adding to your collection.
