Nuclear Blues 1980

Buy on iTunes

The musical emphasis has mostly shifted, from pop/soul with a jazz flavor to out-and-out fusion jazz, such as "Agitato," and the lengthy and often quite lovely "Spanish Wine" suite, with only an occasional lead vocal (a radically re-arranged cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression"). Big exceptions include the title tune... and an impassioned, if relatively straightforward, cover of the old blues standard "I'll Drown In My Own Tears." on Jul 30, 13
