The whole package is a seamless gem, a clear glimpse at what the Project could achieve at its best. Ian Bairnson turns in one of the finest guitar figures on a Project album, echoing and emphasizing Zakatek’s moods. He captures the nuances of the lyric, neatly moving from need to desire to desperation with whisper-to-scream ease. Frequent Project vocalist Lenny Zakatek, singer of most of the band’s early singles, is perfect for this song. By this point the Project - always somewhat fluid - featured a handful of regular performers who worked well together as a tight studio band. It’s a nicely constructed song that captures the desperation of the addict flawlessly.
The lyric features the internal monologue of a man who is at the end of his rope but can’t walk away from the table that has cost him everything. This fourth track sets the stage for a six-song suite on the theme. Each Parsons disc has a central theme, in this case the perils of gambling. The Project - a studio based unit led by Parsons and musical partner Eric Woolfson - had their big breakthrough with their fourth album, 1980’s Turn of A Friendly Card. Today’s song is I Don’t Wanna Go Home by the Alan Parsons Project.
