Album Notes & Community Reviews
The legendary session pianist鈥攆amed for his indelible contributions to the Rolling Stones and the Kinks鈥攕tepped into the spotlight for this star-studded solo outing. Featuring appearances by George Harrison, Mick Taylor, and Klaus Voormann, the album perfectly showcases Hopkins' elegant, rolling piano style across a mix of gentle pop-rock ballads and upbeat boogie-woogie numbers. It provides a rare, highly melodic glimpse into the artistry of one of rock's most vital behind-the-scenes figures.
