from my library (vinyl)



I know what you're saying. Why isn't this in country? Easy answer, because most of it's not. Maybe 2 songs, the
last two. Jerry was still trying to figure out what kind of music he wanted to play. I was still trying to figure
out what kind of music I wanted him to play. I settled on the country ballads, but the Killer could rock out as
well. He could do some major damage on those ivorys. The ebonys took a beating too. After all, they do live in
perfect harmony. On this album Jerry trys to see if he has any soul in him. I'd say just a little. Recorded in
Memphis with a nice supporting cast of the Memphis Horns, Booker T and his gang, Carl Perkins, Tony Joe White and
Mark Lindsay of all people. Other than a few bad song choices, the album holds up rather well. Worst is Sam and
Daves Hold On I'm Comin' which Jerry murders, along with Fats's Blueberry Hill. Surprised he covers When A Man
Loves A Woman pretty good. The leadoff track and single of Meat Man is another that sucks for me. Just stupid
lyrics. But of course my favs are the two country tunes to close it out, with Big Blue Diamond the best. The album
reached #6 on the country charts. Doesn't stand up with his best, but it works.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Hold On I'm Coming

Best Track - Big Blue Diamond

Blue diamonds, big blue diamonds on her finger
Instead of a little band of gold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds tell the story
Of the love that no one man could hold
Oh, she wanted more than I had money to buy
So she left me sad and lonely I am told
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
Now she'll trade them
For a love behind a little band of gold
Blue diamonds, big blue diamonds how they sparkle
But what can they do to warm your heart and soul
When you're lonesome in the moonlight and you want loving
Big blue diamonds don't they seem so reckless and bold
I gladly do my part oh, to mend a broken heart
But a love that's warmed over soon grows cold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
I don't want them, no
I just want a love behind a little band of gold

PETER CRISS "one for all" cd,2007.

yes, it is the Peter Criss from KISS, back with his fifth solo album...loved his 1978 debut solo set, and the second one(out of control),like maybe two or three tracks from his third, about the same from his fouth...so i guess this is a step up from the last couple in that i like half of them.
this was supposed to be the album i had waited for for decades...a ballads album, as Peter did, back in the day, excell doing ballads...but alas, not enough good ones on here to like(and cetainly no Beth in sight!), and his voice has all but left him, not many of those rough edged,lispy vocals of days gone by, i guess the alcohol and drugs had finally f##ked him up for good!
a bit of a jazzy/bluesy feel to some of these ballads,which is not a bad thing, just probably recorded this sort of album a decade or two too late IMO.
a couple of covers on here, one being my favourite track(what a difference a day makes) which gets a love rating, and an ok version of Send In The Clowns...i love that song by whoever sings it, just one of those great classics IMO.
the title track is a track about his feelings as the 9/11 events unfolded,all from this Brooklyn local and just misses out on a love score this time round!...the worst track here is a tribute to fellow KISS outcast Ace Frehley(space ace).
apart from that though, not really enough to brag about, still it is better than both Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons latest solo efforts, and streets above the last couple of KISS albums.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
