"probably the earliest bonnet album available ( just try finding a cd of "no bad habits")..but right around the time of the rainbow album "down to earth". This album is a great even flow of good melodic rock from the industry's most ignored talent. Theres always been something so cool to me about Bonnet, who has fronted so many classic bands while resembling a pompadored disco king, but he has the pipes to make any album hes on blow away the competition. Most of the songs are good hard rock tunes backed up by cozy powell, mick moody and deep purples jon lord. I personally could do without the doo wop cover tunes, but if you want to hear what promted ritchie blackmore to hire him for rainbow...give it a listen."

Could have been the perfect Line Up...

"Good album but could have been better considering the musicians involved in the project(Lord-Moody-Powell).
Graham Bonnet is definitly a great singer who can deliver solid Hard rock performances as well as cool/crooner type of vocals.
It is a high quality album in term of production (even if very 80's) and performance-both vocal and musical, but sometimes feels like an embryonic version of Rainbow's "Down to Earth" or Whitesnake's "Slide it In".
A must have for every Bonnet fan, Jon Lord and Micky Moody fans will find the solos a bit short..."
