Number of Solo (1979) Reviews: 1
Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assistant June 08, 2001 As the leader of some obscure 70's British pub rock bands such as Headstone and
Rarebird, Ashton's second solo offering is pretty impressive in that he wrote all the songs
himself but side two is noticeably weaker than side one. As the album starts out with a
promising rocker like "Dancing in the street" and a nice slower number called "Blue blue
nights". the flip side just doesn't have the catch. Mark can sound a bit like David Bowie
(vocally) during the Ziggy Stardust period but there is some unpredictable moments like
the mellow close of "One more chance" and the fierce solo that ends "In the street" which
reminds me of Dave Flett's work with Manfred Mann's Earth Band (but he's not on the
record) speaking of appearances, Bob Weston is listed as being on the record but it
doesn't say what songs he's on though. I'll give this an average rating because of side two
but it's a very high three stars because of side one.
