Gino Vannelli / Brother to Brother ('78)

A1	Appaloosa	B1	Brother to Brother
A2	The River Must Flow	B2	Wheels of Life
A3	I Just Wanna Stop	B3	The Evil Eye
A4	Love & Emotion	B4	People I Belong to
A5	Feel Like Flying

　カルロス・リオスというかっこいい名前のギタリスト。ギターのプレイも相当かっこいい。
　ヴァネリ3兄弟を差し置いて、本作の主役はこの男だと断言しましょう。決して暴言でも妄言でもありません。聴けばわかります。彼のギターが、この場を支配しているのです。

　B1"Brother to Brother"の、ギター・ソロにさしかかる部分は興奮の極み。
　この1曲だけでもアルバムを買う価値はじゅうぶんにありますが、それ以外にもA2やB2など聴きどころ多し。
