Steve Hunter - Swept Away
Released in 1978 after the Welcome To My Nightmare tour Steve Hunter came out with this solo album. But the credits indicate that it was recorded in two years. In Toronto on Aug 18-28, Oct 24-29, Nov 24-28 in 1976. Then in L.A. on Dec 17-19 in 1976 and Jan 8-10 1977. Out on Acto label a division of Atlantic who produced Alice's WTMN album.

His backing band was pretty much the same people who work with Alice on WTMN and Go To Hell album. Steve Hunter on all guitars and vocals, Prakash John on bass, Jim Gordon on drums and Bob Ezrin on keyboards, percussion, and vocals. Bob Ezrin who also produced this album along with Brian Christian. Some other guest include Jim Malen on percussion and Jozef Chirowski plays Fender Rhodes on "Eldorado Street" track.

Steve covers "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds. Steve plays an instrumental version of this song which is amazing and I also love the drums by Jim Gordon. Another cover is "Sail On Sailor" a Beach Boys song.

Steve Hunter shows off his guitar work on this album and is done very well. It's more of a laid back sound. It reminds me of being on a tropical island. I also like "Of All Times To Leave" which is a short song written by Hunter.
