Critic's Review
William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
This is the solo album made by the group that consisted of Billy Joel and drummer Jon Small. Joel tries to make his organ sound like Jimi Hendrix's guitar, and the overall approach is proto-heavy metal, but occasional hints of Joel's later style peep through. [The Back-Trac album is a 1985 reissue of the original, Epic 30030, and the album was also rereleased in 1985 in New Zealand under Joel's name and the title California Flash by Music World, CECON 339.]
