Beggars Opera - Beggars Can't Be Choosers (1975)

The sixth album from this band from Scotland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, organ, piano, keyboards, synths and vocals.

This band was once a pretty good progressive rock band. Their style not so far away from the likes of Nice.

That was some albums ago.

The radical change of style meant changing to a mix of pop, country and rock. Smoke filled bars type of rock, that is.

That means a vocals dominated soundscape. The vocals is good and the lyrics is quirky. 

The music is too basic and there is not much to enjoy on this album..... besides of the decent songs.

The music is too simple though and has a bit of a bubblegum feel. 

This is still a decent album. No wonder the band split up after this album.
