The Blue Moods of Spain is the debut album by Spain, released in 1995 on Restless Records.
From this album, “I Lied”, “Dreaming of Love”, and “Ray of Light” were released in some form as singles.
“Untitled #1” (for which a video was recorded) appears on the soundtracks to the films Winter Sleepers (1997), Phoenix and Somewhere in the City (both 1998).
"Spiritual" was recorded by Johnny Cash for American II- Unchained (Johnny Cash album).
In a review, Richie Unterberger (AllMusic) writes that "Spain succeed at evoking a brooding, late-night atmosphere", and appreciates the "seductive drones (with lots of languorous guitar/basslines and shuffle drums) and melancholy, pensive songs." However, he adds that "It's a bit monotonous all at once", and gives the album three stars.
