Jimmy Destri

Postby newwavepopman » Fri Sep 10, 2004 2:19 pm

It was either Jimmy Destri whose album that I used to own,or I may be confusing him with Jerry Harrison's solo album.I can't remember now.But whoever it was I remember not liking their album and comparing it to the group they were in,and there was no comparison at all as far as I can remember.Just boring and had no harmony or any melody to it.Now that I think more about it,I do believe that it was Jerry Harrison's solo album that I did not like,and not Destri's solo album.

But then again I may have also owned his album to at one time,and did not like it either.But the Harrison title The Red And The Black and the album cover both sound more familiar to me,then Destri's album title does.Does anyone remember hearing either of these albums,and if so which of the 2 albums did you find to be worse,if that is possible?

But then again my opinion may differ from everyone else's on this subject matter.Can anyone tell me what Destri's solo album sounded like and also Harrison's? I know that neither have that Blondie and T.Heads sound to them from what I recall.

I've always steered clear of the Jimmy Destry solo album, I don't know why. Considering he was one of the main songwriters in Blondie I can't really see his solo stuff being radically different. Maybe I'll pick up a copy next time I'm at the record stor

I really like Jerry Harrison's solo work. I recently picked up the Jimmy Destri LP used, have not listened to it yet, now you have me curious. I will have to put it on this weekend.
