Dangerous Games

A great record. Almost impossible to find. I have the japanese version.
Graham Bonnet vocals are awesome and composition is good. Not Malmsteen, nor Vai. But Danny Johnson gets criminally underrated. Ok, the guitar does its job and lets the voice shine, and maybe that is why this record may be so overlooked. But trust me, it is great!
It's my life, Ohayo, Tokyo, undercover are great songs
only one woman is the ballad that despite being a cover is absolutely brilliant. That song put Graham into rock map, and got Ritchie Blackmore to call him (because he had such a voice to replace -Dio's-, and he managed to get a real well deserved substitute).
And songs as blue boar -explaining night life rock star style- and dangerous games -drug addiction perils- are really great too.
Double man and the witchwood, a rocker and a mellower one. Great.
So this record kept forgotten because the guitar did not have such a name, or so anxious to get solo. This is my vision :-D

9/10 brilliant, a nice surprise
