Half Moon Bay says... Just a few words about Rays debut solo CD.

Once again, Angel Air give us all something to enjoy and savour. This is, I have to admit, a lot better than I expected it to be. Don't know why I should have felt that, but there you go.

Good writing, some shared with Sandy Dillon, and great playing. The cover of Pete Green's 'Love That Burns' is spine-tingly wonderful and, if it had been put out by Gary Moore, for example, then it would have been raved about by Mojo and the like.

For me, 'Writing on the Wall' is another stand-out track, but after all these plays I can't think of a real duffer in this set. Highly recommended.
