Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his departure from Humble Pie, the British guitarist launched his solo career with an acoustic-leaning, highly melodic collection of pop-rock. Featuring prominent guest appearances from Ringo Starr and Billy Preston, the album highlighted his polished songwriting abilities and laid the crucial melodic groundwork for his colossal late-1970s commercial breakthroughs.
