Jimmy's third solo set....
and my favourite after "working class man".....
some guest muso/writers rock it out on this one....
Joe Lyne Turner of Rainbow fame by co writing a few tracks....
Jim Vallance of Prism fame does the same....
Desmond Child, songwriter of "i was made for loving you", "bad medicine" and "livin on a prayer"
fame puts pen to paper also...
as Does Bob Dylan who wrote "seven days", a track he wrote for Ronnie Wood, Ronnie thought his good
friend Barnesy could pull it off so he gave it to him (not sure if Ronnie ever recorded it though??)...
so as you can imagine with those writers on board, Jimmy really only needed to concern himself with
the vocal duties on the whole...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
worst track: do or die
best track: im still on your side
