Peter Allen was prepared when he went into the studio to record "Bi-Coastal" which shows all of the best sides of his remarkable talent plus the energy that was always wonderful to experienced in his amazing live concerts! Never have we had a talent quite like Peter who barred his soul in performance so completely with his own brilliant compositions that were all a bunch of classics~even greats such as Sinatra chose material to record from Peter Allen's extraordinary songbook which stands as one of the finest ever. From the soulful rhythmic opener "ONE STEP OVER THE BORDERLINE" to the hauntingly beautiful closer "WHEN THIS LOVE AFFAIR IS OVER", it is clear that this is a great talent at the peak of his wondrous talent and having a great time!!!! In concert Peter was alot of fun and the song "BI-COASTAL" is a prime rocking example of his great sense of humor as Peter had fun playing around with double meanings and this is a classic example!! "I COULD REALLY SHOW YOU AROUND" smolders with sensual intensity and is an intoxicating experience listening to this classic which brings back the great vision of Peter doing it laying down on the top of the piano and this has never been matched by anyone! "Bi-Coastal" is a wildly satisfying diverse collection of great songs and performances by one of the greatest ever at his absolute peak & sadly this type of greatness will never happen again...thank you Peter and we miss you alot!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best From The Best!!!, December 22, 2004

This is, in my opinion, the best work from Peter Allen. Of course, that's saying A LOT because this singer-songwriter-vocalist was one of the top male performers in the 60's thru the 90's. The only sour note is that Peter never received even one Grammy award. Not for writing "I Honestly Love You", "Don't Cry Out Loud", or "I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love". He did receive an academy award (along with his co-writers) for Arthur's Theme, however.

The opener "One Step Over The Borderline" is a cooker. "Fly Away" is probably my most favorite song of any singer/songwriter ever. "Bi Coastal" is a perfect sentiment of two of the greatest places to ever be. Brilliant in many dimensions, this song is a hot rocker! "I Don't Go Shopping" is a soulful love song. "When This Love Affair Is Over" is the ultimate tribute to a loved one.

The production of this work is classic and the arrangements are brilliant. I have wonderful memories of seeing Peter perform these songs numerous times in Los Angeles with my best friend. Seeing Peter backstage and having him autograph the cover my LP of Bi Coastal was a thrilling experience. It's wonderful to finally have the cd in my collection.

The music is unbelievable. Peter Allen is a great talent. Every song on the album is really good; each song better than the last. Great highway music. This album is spectacular (I'd like to 'take him home'!) This is wonderful stuff. Trust me.
