Bonus Tracks: 12. The Mother & Father Of Love 13. Peace In Our Time Originally only released in Japan, this CD has been much sought after by fans in the West for many years. It was Francis's first solo album after It Bites and features many tracks which had been intended for the fourth It Bites album. Indeed the title track was played by It Bites on their final tour. Francis moved to Los Angeles, and this solo debut in 1991 with drummer Nan Bador, bassist Vegas Lea and producer David Hentschel (Genesis, Mike Oldfield) who also plays piano. The album includes many deeply personal songs such as ?Heartache Reborn', which deals with his relocation to the USA, and the beautiful Another Day. Also included is the country tinged album opener Jack Won't Let You Go and the metallic title track. Francis Dunnery was the leader of It Bites, the Cumbrian band who successfully managed to fuse pop and progressive rock and in 1986 had a top ten single with Calling All The Heroes. They established a reputation as an excellent live band and toured with Level 42, Go West, Marillion, Jethro Tull and Robert Plant. His guitar style, influenced by Allan Holdsworth, came to dominate the band's sound, he became respected as one of the most talented guitarists around. After three albums Francis quit the band and, after a brief stint in Robert Plant's band , embarked on a solo career which saw him abandon the flashy guitar style of It Bites for the highly melodic songs, starkly emotional lyrics and heartfelt vocals which have seen him compared to Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and Squeeze. | |
