Sessions like this are proof that Jimmy was one of the most fantastic organ players ever – as his work with large arrangements (supplied here by Claus Ogerman) always seems to groove better than his work with small combos. His sound is impeccable, and he soars ahead of the rest of the orchestra with hard biting soulful solos that are just amazing. Titles include "The Ape Woman", "Any Number Can Win", "G'Won Train", "Tubs", and "Ruby". Packaged in a nice groovy gatefold, too!
Win Kowa is a German guitarist and songwriter who played in the bands Streetmark, Octopus and The Radio. He began writing music at the age of nine and has been performing and recording professionally since the 1970s. Since the early 1990s he has released a number of albums either solo or with his wife, Jennifer Kowa as Kowa. Will not disappoint fans of either genre, New Age or Space Rock.
Despite what some may believe, Live to Win is not Paul Stanley's solo debut. That honor goes to 1978's Paul Stanley (which was released in conjunction with solo releases by the three other Kiss members), an album so Kiss-like that the singer's full-time band could have easily stamped their logo on it and issued it as the studio follow-up to 1977's Love Gun.
