Memory Almost Full (review by Scott Homewood)

Written by Scott Homewood
Good or bad, at least listen to it before you decide.
——————————————————————————–
Well, this is it kiddies. I am damned if I do like this album and damned if I don’t like this album. Am I a crazy loon who can’t tell one of my idols’ talent has faded with age? Am I supposed […]
