The album has none of the orchestral and grandiose flamboyance that colours his later work, and is one of his better albums because of this: not quite an intimate unplugged effort, but nonetheless one that feels closer, more conversational than others. The LP was banned briefly in South Africa because the title track contained lines considered blasphemous - though i.

Chris de Burgh's storytelling prowess comes into fruition on Spanish Train and Other Stories as he carefully grasps the listener's attention with his soft-spoken candor. With songs that are reminiscent of tales told to a young child by his bedside, de Burgh captivates his audience with his serene anecdotes that are enhanced by the music that envelops him. The opening Spanish Train is a mysterious yarn about a poker game between God and the Devil, where the victor inherits the soul of a dying train engineer. de Burgh's vocal escalation from serene to flamboyant makes.
