Howard Werth & The Moonbeams — King Brilliant 1975 (UK, Pub Rock)
The first solo album by the former member of the cult British art rock band Audience. After releasing four albums with the band, Howard Werth embarked on a solo career, and his first work was "King Brilliant." Critics praised the record as a fascinating example of British mainstream rock 'n' roll, straddling the line between roots music and modern pub rock.
