April 28 – Monday – Bob Welch – French Kiss

Indeed, this is the same Bob Welch who appeared on the Fleetwood Mac album Penguin way back in the Fs. He left Fleetwood Mac for a solo career and this was his first release. I bought this album because I like “Sentimental Lady,” but actually like the version he did with Fleetwood Mac more than this one even though this has back-up by Christine McVie. I also liked the song “Ebony Eyes,” which may have something to do with the fact that I have dark eyes.

Welch’s career kind of fizzled out, which must have been a real kick in the shins for him as he watched Fleetwood Mac become a really great band, and one that reached the heights of popularity with his replacements, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. We just lost Bob Welch less than two years ago.

I’ve got nothing more to say about this record, the workout or any memory I might have. In fact, this is the first time I haven’t taken notes at all during the workout. And only four albums left.
