Raw Deal isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. This is the first studio album from Bill Perry since bad diagnosis in 2004. John Digester has compared writing for Bill Perry’s new album to that on ‘Raw Deal’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Last Hot Album by Bill Perry
TIL THE MONEY RUNS OUT is a perfect, simple song by Bill Perry at the top of his game. GOTTA SERVE SOMEBOY is a very catchy tune. GOING DOWN TO MEMPHIS has a fun tempo. I loved MAN ON THE SIDE the first time I heard it. ANOTHER MAN is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. HARLEM CHILD - A catchy, upbeat tune. BIG ASS GREEN VAN is a excellent sing-along. LIVE ON is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. TERRORISTS - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: PAPER DRAGONS, which shows, blatantly, how much Bill Perry has evolved as a singer.
