Graham Bonnet - No Bad Habits (1978) {2009, Japanese Reissue}

Graham Bonnet is considered one of the finest Rock vocalists of his generation. Beginning his career in the sixties Graham was one half of the pop duo The Marbles who scored a worldwide hit single with the Bee Gees written song Only One Woman. Following on from the Marbles Graham embarked on a solo career in the seventies and was one of the first signings to former Beatle Ringo Starr's record label Ringo records. Following one self titled album Graham was approached to replace Ronnie James Dio in Rainbow. Graham featured on the album Down To Earth and also the hit singles Since You've Been Gone and All Night Long before he left Rainbow in late 1980 following Rainbow's performance at the first Monsters of Rock festival at Donnington. Following his departure from Rainbow mid way through recording the follow up to Down To Earth Graham recorded his second solo album Line Up which featured many guest artists such as Cozy Powell and Micky Moody. The album also spawned the hit single Night Games which became a staple of Rock radio stations worldwide. Following the release of Line Up Graham then joined the Michael Schenker Group recording just one album entitled Assault Attack and the hit single Dancer. Preferring the band format Graham decided to form his own American based rock band Alcatrazz with whom he would record three studio albums and a live album. Graham left Alcatrazz in 1987 when the band folded and he picked up his solo career once more which has continued to this day. Following Graham's success with his self titled album in Australia the decision was taken to record a follow up. No Bad Habits was very similar in many respects in that there was a Dylan song(I'll Be You Baby Tonight) and one self written song from Graham (High School Angel). Other tracks include Can't Complain (Written by John Otway), Pyramid, Only You Can Lift Me and Won't You Join Me (Written by John Kongos). Following the release of this album Graham Bonnet joined Rainbow and sang on the hugely successful Down To Earth album.
