You mean, "NOT the best," don't you?  And yes, I'd agree.  I think his best
was 'Like an Arrow...through the heart' which AFAIK, is not available on CD.
The 'On the Move' disc from a few years' back with all Swedish backing band
wasn pretty decent, a couple of the tunes being remakes of old ones (some
from Like an Arrow actually).  Haven't heard Chain Reaction yet....I think
Gary Davis (www.artist-shop.com) carries it here in the US, so I'll prolly
get it next order from him.

And yes, none of them really have a HW-style sound, notwithstanding the
covers of PW and such on the crappy Flicknife-bootleg-thing recently
discussed.  And even then...garage-rock versions of HW...no synths and such
usually.

'On the Move' is really bluesy, like old Trower/Spooky Tooth albums.  Nicely
done if you like that sort of thing, and like Huwy's voice well enough.

Nah.  Jerry mainly sticks to 90s artists for the AI catalog, apart from my
contribution of Garden of Delights re-releases.  The aforementioned Gary
Davis I think has the newest one.  Elegy and River Run I was forced to get
from Mike H. and Andy G.  Issued on the Allegro label.  Try visiting Huw's
site, and maybe there's info about ordering from overseas.
http://www.huwlloyd-langton.co.uk/ I think.  'On the Move' I think had some
ltd. distribution over here in the states, but I've forgotten where I got it.
