"Direction"
This album recorded by bob d'bace features instrumental versions of specially selected quality songs written by singer/songwriter bob chambers in the late '70's and early '80's. Heavily influenced by the "disco" sound of that era, some of the tracks on the album have a disco/jazz feel to them. A carefully chosen mixture of ballads and dance beats.
