Return Of The Wanderer / Fire In The Night

Return Of The Wanderer / Fire In The Night

Between 1978 and the <b>Yo Frankie</b> album, Dion Di Mucci abandoned secular music completely and cut nothing but gospel material for 10 years. His swansong in '78 was the album <b>Return Of The Wanderer</b> - this features his band the Streethearts and they play mainly Dion songs but with covers from Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and John Sebastian. However, just before he bailed out for God, one last album was cut in 1979 using much the same band and Cashman & West, the same production team. Up until now this has remained in the can, so it is with great pleasure that Ace Records announce the debut 21 years later of <b>Fire In The Night</b> - the long lost Dion album. The CD combines the two albums and these are the only ways in which <b>Fire In The Night</b> is available anywhere in its entirety. The record had obviously come very close to release in '79 since the cover was already designed and it is this original artwork that we feature here.
