Rocktopia: Walter Egan - 'The Collection' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Paul Jerome Smith: Walter Egan was a west coast kid. Unfortunately, he was born and raised in New York City and it wasn't until April 1974 that he made it to California following the break up of his band, Sageworth. The band had been admired by Linda Ronstadt's manager, Chris Darrow, but only Egan ventured to the State that had enthralled him so much, Darrow initially accommodating him and then hooking him up with two local musicians with whom he formed the band Ghost Riders. A couple of years passed before a record offer for Egan (but not the others in Ghost Riders) materialised and a four year helter-skelter of recording the four albums presented in 'The Collection' began. http://ping.fm/M7Nt5
