Take Me as I Am

Christopher Cross

Introspective soft rock with pristine production. A late-career meditation on loss and legacy, defined by complex acoustic arrangements and that signature breathy tenor.

It's Christopher Cross at his most thoughtful, trading the yacht for a quiet room and an acoustic guitar.

A dignified and technically brilliant meditation on the passage of time and the people who shape us.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The intricate acoustic guitar interplay on 'Roberta' that mirrors Joni Mitchell's own idiosyncratic tuning style.
The sudden, soaring vocal harmonies that bloom during the chorus of 'Take Me as I Am'.
The poignant, sparse instrumental closing of 'Alvah' serving as a final goodbye to his longtime collaborator.
