About the artist: Colin Blunstone (1945) is a British singer-songwriter, who started his career in the band The Zombies, and after their breakup embarked on a long and successful solo career. He was also guest vocalist on several outstanding tracks by the Alan Parsons Project. He is the only artist to appear in my list in three different acts. As solo artist, Colin Blunstone currently has one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: Andorra is a track from what is probably his best solo effort, the 1972 album Ennismore. It is an understated ballad, describing a journey, which has its beginning in Andorra, goes on in Barcelona and ends in the southern Spanish city of Grenade. The instrumentation is appropriate for the theme, featuring Spanish guitars and gypsy castanets. Run time 3:18.
