Great Things is the title of Ian McNabb's 8th solo album.[1] The album officially produced no singles, although promotional singles of 'New Light' were pressed.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

Although the album failed to chart, it was highly praised by reviewers. Pete Whalley, writing for Getreadytorock.com said " Great Things demonstrates not only what a quality writer / performer McNabb is, but also serves to demonstrate how lightweight some of the current crop of singer songwriters are".[3] Record Collector Magazine's Terry Staunton concluded that the "Tongue... in cheek" title of 'I Can't Help It If I'm Great' was "undeniably true" (In reference to McNabb), giving the album 4/5 stars.[4]
