It will be a long afternoon for 36-year-old Swiss Racer Clay Regazzoni. Another hairpin right will bring him back...
...recruited Charlie Daniels's fiddle and the Allman Brothers' Chuck Leavell to play keyboards, and the influence of these rockers blends with Williams's own country background to make the musical part of this album first-rate. Williams's vocals are always on target, ranging from a hurting, plaintive whine on "Living Proof" to a rocking shout on "Brothers of the Road...
