Re: Page Outrider LP

[Dr Axeman-Cozmickz <drcozmickz@xxxxxxxxx>]

O.K., so I haven't heard Coverdale/Page yet...But, am
i the ONLY person who actually LIKES Walking Into
Clarksdale??? The thing you have to remember is that
it's NOT LED ZEPPELIN! I think some have a high
expectation of Page/Plant, and they got disappointed
when it didn't turn out as they thought it would.
Granted, WIC might not be their best work, but IMHO
it's still very good.

Wearing and Tearing,

Cozmickz. :o)
