PETER CRISS "kiss" 1978, vinyl, Russian picture disc vinyl and cd #59 Aust, #43 US
i know most of you are going to say "bloody KISS,thats crap!" but its not crap, and its not KISS.
in 1978, due to internal rumblings within the band, KISS decided to take a break and all four members put out solo albums, all titled "KISS" to maintain some sort of unity between them. Paul's and Ace's albums sounded like KISS albums, Gene went off on his own merry tangent with a nice mix of songs(better than most of the tracks he has done as part of KISS) and Peter, who made the best solo outing of them all...not bad for the "sticks" guy always at the back of the pack! he had the freedom to explore his musical love of soul, R&B and pop and the result is a bloody good album, there are three beautiful ballads(tracks 4,8,10) on this album,equal to,if not better than his KISS standard "beth", a classy rock ballad(track 6),five original rock/R&B songs and a remake of the old soul classic "tossin' and turnin'", all of which make for a better album than most of the KISS albums that followed.
Peter has a raspy/slightly 'lispy' voice that blends well to ballads and rock equally and KISS should have used a few more of his songs and a few less of Gene Simmons songs IMO.
