Blue Frontier


Blue Frontier is the debut album from the American country music trio The Remingtons, a vocal group composed of former Bread vocalist Jimmy Griffin, as well as former Cymarron members Richard Mainegra and Rick Yancey. Released in January 1992 on BNA Entertainment, the album produced three singles on the Billboard country singles charts between late 1991 and mid-1992. In order of release, these were "A Long Time Ago" at No. 10, "I Could Love You " at No. 33, and "Two-Timin' Me" at No. 18.

Critical reception

Roch Parisien of Allmusic rated the album 3 out of 5 stars, saying that "There's nothing here that will move mountains, but for fans of the Chris Hillman/Desert Rose Band school of harmony-rich country pop, Blue Frontier is for you." Entertainment Weekly reviewer Alanna Nash rated the album "C-", writing that "despite their gorgeous vocal blend, the Remingtons have surprisingly little to say... aside from 'Two-Timin’ Me,' a pleasant enough piece of lightweight R&B, and 'A Long Time Ago,' the saga of a sadder-but-wiser lad who opted for fame and fortune over true love, the Remingtons seem content simply to skate on the surface of romantic emotion, perfecting a sugary brand of bubble-gum country."
