| With the return of Gary Duncan and the recording debut of founder Dino 
        Valenti, Just for Love, Quicksilver's fourth album, marked their debut 
        as the band they were intended to be. The ironic thing about that is that, 
        led by singer/songwriter Valenti, they were a much more pop-oriented band 
        than their fans had come to expect. On Just for Love, Quicksilver finally 
        was Valenti's backup group (he wrote all but one of the songs), and while 
        this gave them greater coherence and accessibility, as well as their only 
        Top 50 single in "Fresh Air," it also made them less the boogie 
        band they had been. And it meant the band's days were numbered. (by William Ruhlmann , AMG) |
