Piper: Can't Wait
Ken Barnes, Phonograph Record, August 1977
BY THE TIME the first two cuts on Piper's second album had finished, I thought they'd really done it. 'Can't Wait' and especially 'Drop By And Stay' are such marvelous marriages of rock-solid guitar chords and melodic delicacy that I was hoping against hope that Billy Squier and crew were going to carry it through all the way and make the perfect 70's pop-rock album.
