Alan was indeed fantastic when in DS and his contrubution helped the band to go a very big step ahead.

Alan was also fantastic with Clapton, he added a whole lot of great things to Eric´s songs.

Looks like he had some kind of problems that took him away for the "stars circuit", as he was also the musical director and also of musicians casting for Tina Turner, and he had never recovered in full, as long as the members of The Straits didn´t want to be with him anymore and formed their own "DS Experience". Looks like that "problems" were the same that made MK be away from him.

I just heard three songs from their record and I like it. Top musicians, except the Italians (the lead singer is terrible) but the songs are good.

This song is pretty good imo, Deserves a much better singer, Caviglia is really terrible, he has nothing to do with these guys, both as a singer and a guitarist.

Other songs are sung by Alan Clark which is also terrible as a singer, bah

Yeah, listened through the whole thing (it's on Spotify). It wasn't too shabby, I was pleasantly surprised. But yeah, they should have a better singer though!

Sounds like they're singing "Looking for a Miracle" !    Not a bad song, but agree the singer is terrible.    I have just listened to all 12 songs and most are pretty average imo.

So Danny Cummings now plays both with Mark and with Legacy? Pretty impressive :lol

Congrats to Alan for coming up with his own music! I agree on singer, though, could've found other one for other project.

Good on Alan for stepping up to the plate with original tunes.

He always implied that he played a big part in composing all those classic DS songs so now we will be able to see how successful these are.

Trevor Horn on here? Major development!

And sadly Steve Ferrone needs a new gig these days. :(

I like the song 3 Chord Trick, written by Phil Palmer and also Epiphany, which is reminiscent of Silvertown Blues!   I think the songs sound better with more listenings.   :)

Yes, of course.   Often with MK's solo songs it is necessary for me to listen many times, but those are the songs which become long time favourites, whereas the more immediate songs are tired of more quickly.   :)

I listened to Jesus Street and 3 Chord Trick and was pleasantly surprised. Good tunes and the singing was ok, unlike, say, David Knopfler that I just can't listen to as it sounds like a bad MK impression.

BUT!
