The sixth album from this band from USA.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, congas, bass, guitars, harmonica, organ and vocals.
Two guests added harpsichord, clavinet, piano, organ and electric violin.
This band was working tiredlessly on a schedule of albums-touring-albums-touring. No holidays and no rest. Work, work, work..... And they were pretty succesful in breaking the various markets and scenes in USA and Canada. They even got fans in Europe and in Asia. Not to mention Australia.
The non-stop work schedule saw the band visiting a studio again. An internal change in the band management saw the band take a more commercial, pop and rock direction.
There is still some good hard rock here. But most of the album has a more melodic flavour, with soul, pop and rock being pretty dominant.
The vocals is good and the band rocks out. There is a lot of tangents, that is mostly organs, on this album. The sporadic harpischord adds a lot of flavour to the album too.
The result is pretty good. Somewhere between decent and good, in fact.
If you want to check out this band, this is an album well worth checking out.
