10. Goodbye Mr. C.

To be honest I didn't know something for the musical past of Taz Taylor before I listened to "Welcome to America" so I run into Internet for further information. At his previous personal works he must have had elements from Michael Schenker, something that I didn't noticed in "W.T.A.". The only elements that I noticed were influences by R. Blackmore (G. Bonnet, J.L.Turner era). Pretty and catchy compositions that seem to come from another decade. For the most modern metalheads this could seem paleolithic, but for the older in age and especially for Rainbow, Deep Purple fans "W.T.A." would be a pleasant listening. Graham's work is more than good and it would be good to continue to work together in future good works (exactly like "W.T.A.") so we can enjoy him. I think that we were lucky that it was scheduled to sing only in 4 tracks and finally he sang in 8 songs.

Bottom Line: Mr Taylor and his friends gained another fan. We will continue to keep you up to date for their news and we will be glad to have a continue to all this thing. Until then...
