Two Days Away is an album by Elkie Brooks, released in 1977.

Background

[edit]

Brooks' breakthrough second album, released in 1977, propelled her into solo stardom in the UK and Europe. Including the top ten hits "Pearl's a Singer" and "Sunshine After the Rain", it had a distinct American sound largely due to the work of the legendary writers and producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It remains one of Brooks' finest albums[according to whom?] and is available on CD, paired with its predecessor Rich Man's Woman.
