Joe Bonner - The Lifesaver (1975) [vinyl>flac]

On this LP Joe Bonner is fully engaged in creating some marvellous and lyrical excursions into a variety of self-penned tunes. Apart from his evocative piano work he intelligently turns his hand to an assortment of instruments including harmonica and flute creating an intriguing percussive complement to his acoustic piano sounds. A highlight is to hear an original take on his emotive "Little Chocolate Boy". In all, it is a bold solo album that manages to entertain from the start to the finish.
