Advantages: Amazing collaboration, so funky Disadvantages: None
This album is truly awesome, showing some of the best guitar and drum work in the 70's in one go. Here legendary Panamanian American drummer BillyCobham who had previously worked with Mile Davis records the album with guitarist Tommy Bolin (Zephyr, Moxy, Deep Purple etc) and keyboard player Jan Hammer who had previously worked with Cobham and McLaughlin in Mahavishnu Orchestra combine to come up with one of the funkiest albums I have ever heard.
I'm a big Tommy Bolin fan, so naturally had to check the album out. Supposedly Tommy was informed what he had to do and the album was finished in 2 days, I'd be amazed if this legend was actually true because the work is quite intricate and the album is often considered to be BillyCobham's best work.

My review is no exception but I?ll say up front that my experience of adult bicycles is limited to a GT Tequesta mountain bike (steel frame, 3x7 derailuer gears & no suspension) and two lightweight tourers (both with Reynolds 531 steel frame, one with 700C alloy rims and 2x7 speed derailleur gears and the older tourer with 26? steel rims and Sturmey Archer 4 speed internal hub gears). Each tourer was fitted with new parts as they wore over ...
Advantages: Great tracks, loads of emotion packed inside! Disadvantages: Not so much tracks from her first album
A jam-packed CD full of unique tracks from an amazing artist!

Billie Paul Piper was born in 1982 in Swindon. Since she was tiny, she dreamed of performing and attended various dance classes and drama groups! When she was 13, she won a place in Sylvia Young Drama School and stayed there in London. When she was 15, she was given the opportunity of a lifetime! Innocent Record Company offered her a record deal! Without hesitating, Billie jumped at the chance, and became a new face for music - a young, lively, bubbly teen!

When her break was over, Billie ...
