Add your review here. Faceless but good sounding California rock Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 1st, 2005 A good assortment of session gurus permeate through this album featuring Rick playing audible slide guitar on "Long nights coming" one of the better songs on the record which has a rhythm guitar part that makes you think it's rocking and going faster than it really is but a good one anyway. Young's style is something like the smoothness of Dane Donohue but a little more guitar driven. It's rather easy to call him faceless as for some reason, his vocal style reminded me of Robbie Dupree. The over 30's will remember him as a one hit wonder with "Steal away" around 1980. However, he was sued as it was deemed that his hit sounded too much like "What a fool believes". which makes the facelessness all the more ironic.
