Tim Weisberg, Part 4: 1979 Night-Rider, 1979 Tip of the Weisberg [compilation], 1980 Party of One, 1981 Travelin' Light

 

Yes, the cover art gets a little ridiculous by the time of "Tip of the Weisberg," admittedly.

And also, given the year, on 1979's Night-Rider! you can expect some very smooth commercialese style fuzak.  Consider Shadows in the Wind recalling very much Dave Grusin and the theme from Taxi, for ex:

Title track of Party of One sounds completely out of place for the year 1980 showing some people, thank god, just don't want to keep up with the zeitgeist:

1981's installment called Travelin' Light has its songwriting credits, quite a mix, on this page.  A very little track called Audrey, written by (someone called) John Jarvis:

After the 1981 album, he went on to make 5 more I didn't bother to listen to, though they might very well be good as his output, consistently, has been worth hearing throughout the decade.  But I didn't have the courage or stamina to pursue the matter any further.
