Top Five Blue Nile Albums

(in order of preference)

1. Hats

2. A Walk Across the Rooftops

3. High

4. Peace at Last

5. Heatwave (a bootleg from a concert at The Bottom Line, recorded on July 23, 1990, and released under many titles)

(Paul Buchanan’s solo album, Mid Air, is also very fine—particularly the title song—and will complete your Blue Nile collection.)
