About this album
The Getaway is the album that turned Chris de Burgh into a mainstream pop-rock force. Released in 1982, it sharpened his storytelling into leaner, more radio-ready songs, with Don't Pay the Ferryman becoming his best-known hit and a fixture of early-80s airplay. The record balances dramatic themes, melodic hooks and polished soft-rock arrangements, helping de Burgh cross from cult singer-songwriter to international chart presence. Built on vivid narrative writing and accessible choruses, it remains one of his most recognisable and commercially successful albums.
