[Heeplist] Phils cd quick thoughts

[Bob Winward]

Hi Pete, I really think Phil sounds great singing on My Two Englands and
Forest
I think the songs Bells remind me of is Shadow and Money Talks (the riffs)
This is pretty good so far, I had to have all the Byron sings hit singles
cds, and never played them more than once.  This is original music that is
impressive and begs to be heard over and over
