Wilson Brothers more valuable than ever!

"With the recent death of Steve Wilson, this band's 1970's rarity will become even more valuable. Steve and Kelly Wilson wrote great songs of love and loss, do amazing covers of rock standards such as Todd Rundgren's "Can We Still Be Friends", and have a sound reminiscent of great groups like TOTO, Steely Dan and more. They are backed up by studio staples STEVE LUKATHER, JON GOIN,
STEVE GIBSON, ERNIE WATTS and more, so it's unfortunate this band got overlooked and dropped by Atlantic/ATCO right after their successful tour in Japan. As a result, the disc is only available as an import from there, where they are still wildly popular (do a search on their name and see). Steve and Kelly both went on to write songs performed by other artists. I think this record proves my adage about the music business: "It's not about being good". If it was, this band would be there in the lexicon with the other greats, instead of relegated to the cutout bin. These guys ROCK!"
