Wow, a blast from the past and better than I remember it! A bit like "The Tin Man Was A Dreamer", but without the heavy hitter guests. Spotty songs with some great moments and some tasty playing by Nicky.

Nicky Hopkins - No More Changes (Mercury SRM 11028), was released in 1975. Appearing on the album are Hopkins (lead vocals and all keyboards), David Tedstone (guitars), Michael Kennedy (guitars), Rick Willis (bass), and Eric Dillon (drums and percussion), with back-up vocals from Kathi McDonald, Lea Santo-Robertie, Doug Duffey and Dolly. Recorded in London and mixed and mastered in Los Angeles.

I'm glad I read this thread, I have been looking for this for years!

He was a fantastic piano player, I really love what he has played with the Stones and others. (In fact I'm trying to learn a little piano and will listen to some of his piano riffs for inspiration).

However his solo album The Tin Man Was A Dreamer is pretty dire. It sounds very dated, typically 70s sounding and strangely (although understandably) rather like Elton John. Like Mick Taylor, I guess Nicky is best suited to playing on other people's material.

Nicky's other solo album, The Revolutionary PIano of Nicky Hopkins realeased in the mid-1960s, is of more interest to me. It's him backed by an orchestra. It's instrumental covers - no singing - including tunes like Satisfaction and a Beatles track (can't remember which). It's pretty good for what it is, although the rough 60s production doesn't do justice to the piano and strings which would benefit from a clearer recording/production.
