JIMMY DESTRI - HEART ON A WALL (1982)
Jimmy Destri is best known as
keyboardist in Blondie. He has contributed greatly to Blondie's straight
ahead pop sensibilities (he wrote or co-wrote such classics as "Look Good In Blue","Picture This", "Atomic", "11:59" and "Maria").
In 1982, he released his first and only solo album, but it was
something of a disturbing revelation: the presence of Bowie's musicians
(Slick, Alomar) and the Bowie-esque production obliterate the glimmer of
pop, even with the contribution of Blondie's members (Clem Burke, Chris
Stein and Debbie Harry), There are some very nice songs "Don't Look around", "Little Metal Drummer", "Heart On A Wall" but the best can be found on side 2 with "Numbers Don't Count (On Me)", a very catchy power pop tune.

Thanks for ripping Jimmy's album. I've been bugging him for years to rip it or reissue it on Bandcamp or something like that. Thanks again.
I wonder what made me decide to check the site today for the first time in a really long time...that worked out well! Thanks for the share!
