Studio album debut by Zucchero is released as 'Zucchero Fornaciari' feature his two San Remo songs "Una notta che vola via" and "Nuvola".
The music is in an Italian singer / songwriter tradition which put him alongside contemporaries like Francesco De Gregori, Fabrizio De André, and Lucio Dalla. Aside from a folk rock-feel this also demonstrates a certain blues rock element that distinguishes him from his national contemporaries. At this point of his career it his not a dominating style, as would be later on, and the songs are mainly folk and singer / songwriter-founded with focus on narration.
A recommended album in any collection of Italian pop / rock.
