Other than plugging in and doing it from an oldies angle, I'm suspect...he
has not even come CLOSE to rocking out, halfway, since "Tonight You're Mine"
the ONLY solo albm of his that had more than *one* decent rocker on it.
Recently revisited his entire solo catalog----why? Not sure,
frankly....just wondering if I missed anything years back.
The answer: not a single song that I did not already like, did I
rediscover. Pretty much his entire career, while yielding a great income
with some very good ballads(but not my cup of tea 95% of the time w/ him),
has been a consistent, disappointing bummer.
He needs to have both Wally and Scott int he mix to make this work to its
best.........
Peace,
Bruce
