Andrew Gold is the first album by singer-songwriter Andrew Gold. It was released in 1975 on Asylum Records. Linda Ronstadt, of whose band Gold was a member at the time, appears on the album.
Rolling Stone's Stephen Holder said the album was "one of the year's most melodic" and "expresses, with warmth, humor and expertise, a special feeling for mid-Sixties rock." Holder notes that Gold "recaptures the essential spirit of 1964-65 Beatles music" and that his "ballads are as captivating as his rockers, if not more so." [3]
AllMusic's James Chrispell retrospectively said the album contains "[a]n abundance of riches." Noting "[t]here are great Beatlesque melodies here, as well as heartfelt love songs that are Gold's specialties." [1]
Leo Sayer covered Gold's song "Endless Flight" on his 1976 Endless Flight album.
All songs written by Andrew Gold, except where noted.
