At least when Dino Danelli and Gene Cornish, rhythm section for the Rascals, made a respectable outing with Bulldog and the minor hit "No," they showed some semblance of musical vision. A rhythm section for David Bowie on one of the most classic rock albums of all time, "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars," should have known better. The obscurity of this album is probably for the best, keeping the Spiders legacy somewhat intact. "Fallen Star" sounds like a Bad Company outtake, and it is one of the stronger tracks, but Trevor Bolder's "Red Eyes" is painful, as is "Shine a Light," the composition by vocalist Pete McDonald and guitarist Dave Black. Bowie/Ronson they are not; Hunter/Ronson they are not. Bassist Trevor Bolder's "Prisoner" is actually pretty good, it works better than the post-Ian Hunter Mott albums like Shouting and Pointing. Problem with "Prisoner" is it is almost there -- it needed a singer who doesn't overdo it, which is exactly the problem with Mott. Replacing a David Bowie or an Ian Hunter is not that simple. That Bad Company went gold post-Paul Rodgers in 1991/1992 with Brian Howe is really amazing, because who remembers Brian Howe, and, more important, who remembers the songs he sang? Trevor Bolder and Pete McDonald co-write another Bad Company-style tune, "(I Don't Wanna Do No) Limbo," another song that is halfway there. Serious production is missing from this outing. A Tony Visconti or Bob Ezrin might've slapped these guys around
