│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Following his brief spell in Rainbow Graham ║ │
│║ Bonnet took full advantage of his newly acquired ║ │
│║ rock audience and put out this 1981 solo ║ │
│║ offering. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æLine- UpÆ came complete with a whoÆs who of ║ │
│║ guest musicians and a Rainbow coloured backdrop ║ │
│║ for the cover shot just in case anyone forgot ║ │
│║ what band heÆd been in. To be fair to him though ║ │
│║ Bonnet did propel Rainbow into that rock/pop ║ │
│║ chart territory of the very late seventies and ║ │
│║ early eighties in a way that Dio probably never ║ │
│║ could have ààà but that is for a different ║ │
│║ review. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Enlisting the help of Whitesnake men Micky ║ │
│║ Moody, Jon Lord and Neil Murray, as well as ║ │
│║ future snake skinsman Cozy Powell meant that he ║ │
│║ was fronting a pretty useful sort of hybrid ║ │
│║ Whitesnake. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æNight GamesÆ, which was a minor UK hit was very ║ │
│║ much in the mould of æSince You Been GoneÆ and ║ │
│║ æAll Night LongÆ from his Rainbow days albeit ║ │
│║ without the added bonus of a Blackmore solo. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æLiarÆ and æThatÆs The Way That It IsÆ were also ║ │
│║ released as singles and charted. Bizarrely the ║ │
│║ latter named was also released at around the ║ │
│║ same time by Uriah Heep who were at that point ║ │
│║ fronted by Pete Goalby who had tried out with ║ │
│║ Rainbow just before Bonnet ! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æDirty HandÆ, æOut On The WaterÆ (with great ║ │
│║ backing vocals ) æDonÆt Stand In The OpenÆ and ║ │
│║ the rock ænÆ roll blitz of æAnthony BoyÆ all ║ │
│║ stand out on what is a very good album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The hideous æBe My BabyÆ and a couple of obvious ║ │
│║ fillers are the only lowlights. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ All round then a good album well worthy of four ║ │
│║ stars and more proof that when Bonnet sings ║ │
│║ rather than shouts he can cut it with some of ║ │
│║ rocks finest. ║ │
