Paris was an eponymous album, the first of the two albums recorded by the power trio Paris, which was active from 1975-1977.
The album was not critically acclaimed, and sold modestly, reaching 103 on the Billboard pop album chart.[2]
Production
Paris comprised guitarist Bob Welch, formerly with Fleetwood Mac, bassist Glenn Cornick, formerly of Jethro Tull and drummer Thom Mooney, formerly of Nazz. It was the only album recorded by this line up, as Mooney left shortly afterwards.
The songs were all written by Bob Welch and are a major contrast to the songs he wrote with Fleetwood Mac, particularly the "wistful romanticism of such songs as Sentimental Lady." [3]
The logo of the band was Cornick's creation.[4]
