Billy Cobham, Inner Conflicts, 1978, Atlantic USA, SD 19174
John Scofield/Steve Kahn guitars. Listen to B2 "Nickels and dimes" and B3 "El Barrio" in Santana style.
That's not an inner conflict: in fact, heavy synthesizer abuse by Billy Cobham on tracks A1/A2 is WAR declared to my Nervus acusticus!

A very quiet one with many beautiful tunes.
Listen to track B5 "Lady and the outlaw" and pay attention to the funny (spoken) lyrics. So, i will have to ask MY LADY, if it's true what the cowboy says........
