Bill Amesbury as he stares out at the world from the cover of his latest album Can You Feel It Capitol ST 11528 Its messagebehold man who doesnt take himself too seriously The expression couldnt be more appropriate The album radiates the same feeling and its absolutely refreshing to hear Amesbury Canadian knows pop music inside out sideways and backwards He patrols the boundaries of the style knowing what he can get away with and the arrange ments are just right Any one of the 10 songs on the album would make an excellent single except maybe Thrills Thrill which has one rather bold lyric Three Can You Feel It tunes have actually been big sellers in England where Amesburys had more attention than in his homeland Canadians seem to be coming around now as the title track had fair run on the charts The song which best conveys the mans sense of humor is Every lirl In The World To night where Amesbury takes on the guise of performer who is all things to all people He sings got flashy

disap pointment Kenner 28yearold native of Toronto is talented charismatic vocalist He proved it as lead singer for the postWalsh James Gang and as member of Soul Com pany the resident group on the
