What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Art's seventh solo effort, his first in seven years. Where's Jimmy Webb when you need him. Art had made a discovery of one hit wonder Stephen Bishop (On And On) and uses mostly his material on this album. No standouts and a few bombs. Cover of the Percy Sledge classic is very bad (luckily no clip), but not the worst. That goes to King Of Tonga, God that was bad. The other known cover of the doo-wop So Much In Love (Tymes,1963) seems to work. Bishop plays on the album along with Steve Gadd, Nicky Hopkins, Kenny Rankin and Michael Brecker. He needed all the help he could get on this one, which barely snuck into the like range for me, and is the last of his albums I have. It reached #134 in the states and #72 across the pond.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - King Of Tonga

Best Track - Love Is The Only Chain

Love is forever, baby so are we.
For every ship there is a shining sea.
For every heart, there is a waiting heart.
You are the light that lead me through the dark.
Your love keeps shining like a star,
When I am lost I know, your love will find me.
Love Is The Only Chain.
I say, Love Is The Only Chain.
Oh, Love Is The Only…
We fit together, baby we belong.
The music plays, you're my only song.
Here with you, I am complete.
You have become the very heart of me.
Your love keeps shining like a star,
When I am lost I know, your love will find me.
Love Is The Only Chain.
I say, Love Is The Only Chain.
Oh, Love Is The Only…
Love Is The Only Chain.
Love Is The Only Chain.
I say, Love Is The Only Chain.
Love Is The Only Chain.
