[CRAZY-HORSE]

PETER CRISS "one for all" cd,2007.

yes, it is the Peter Criss from KISS, back with his fifth solo album...loved his 1978 debut solo set, and the second one(out of control),like maybe two or three tracks from his third, about the same from his fouth...so i guess this is a step up from the last couple in that i like half of them.
this was supposed to be the album i had waited for for decades...a ballads album, as Peter did, back in the day, excell doing ballads...but alas, not enough good ones on here to like(and cetainly no Beth in sight!), and his voice has all but left him, not many of those rough edged,lispy vocals of days gone by, i guess the alcohol and drugs had finally f##ked him up for good!
a bit of a jazzy/bluesy feel to some of these ballads,which is not a bad thing, just probably recorded this sort of album a decade or two too late IMO.
a couple of covers on here, one being my favourite track(what a difference a day makes) which gets a love rating, and an ok version of Send In The Clowns...i love that song by whoever sings it, just one of those great classics IMO.
the title track is a track about his feelings as the 9/11 events unfolded,all from this Brooklyn local and just misses out on a love score this time round!...the worst track here is a tribute to fellow KISS outcast Ace Frehley(space ace).
apart from that though, not really enough to brag about, still it is better than both Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons latest solo efforts, and streets above the last couple of KISS albums.
