National Health was the natural successor to Hatfield & the North, consisting of key players from the latter band - Dave Stewart (keyboards), Phil Miller (guitar) & Pip Pyle (drums). This link is emphasised by the fact that Amanda Parsons (ex-Northette) sings on this eponymously-titled first album.

The opening track, "Tenemos Roads", is nearly 15 minutes of excellence with its convoluted but memorable melodies, and its typically quirky lyrics. There is a fitting reprise of its main melodic section towards the end of the album. The familiar Dave Stewart organ & piano sounds lead the charge, interspersed with equally recognisable Phil Miller guitar interludes. The dynamic structure of the piece is perfect, with skilful solos over driving riffs leading into wistful quiet sections, and out again into a sweet & rousing climax which repeats the opening section & adds an extra build-up to the explosive conclusion.
