What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



A gift from a mate. Not too keen on this one. Only other album I've heard by this Australian artist is Children Of
the Sun back in the 70's. Eight albums as a solo artist and this is his first one in 28 years. Looks like he spent
some time in those missing years doing scores for various tv series. Must have been finding himself also. He found
himself in Morocco for this album. Had just finished recording it when when Billy died from a heart attack in 2007.
Three years later before the album was released here. Probably legal stuff contributed to the delay. Some eastern
elements surface here which give it a unique flavor. Appearance by Mick Fleetwood who was a long time friend. Two
tracks that have potential growth in Tangier and Fatima. Two instrumentals and two spoken word over music things,
which I don't think are even Billy, seem to be a waste. Wondering if the album was even completed to his
satisfaction before he passed. May have still been in the mixing stage. I'll attribute the weak showing to that.
Billy was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 1991.
