Spooky Tooth - Cross Purpose (1999)

The eight and final album from this band from Great Britain.

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

Three guests added keyboards and harmonica.

The band returned again for a final album exactly twenty-five years after their last album. A quarter of a century, in other words.

None of the members from that album returned to do Cross Purposes. Mike Harrison and Mike Kellie from the Witness album is involved in this album on vocals and drums, though.

The music is mostly old style rock'n'roll and has almost nothing at all in common with what this band has previously released on their first seven albums. 

There are some third rate versions of some soul classics here at the end of the album and those versions is pretty horrible.

The vocals is good and that is the only good thing I can say about this album. But not even these vocals can save this abysmal bad album. It is a turkey.
