The second and final album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band was active between 1971 and 1974 before they split up after a succesful career in mostly USA. They were mostly an unknown band in their homeland and in the rest of the world. The good people in USA lapped them up, though....
Their self-titled 1972 album was a decent enough folk rock album with some strong country'n'western influences.
It should not come as a surprise that the band continued with this succesful recipe on their follow up album.
There is also some strong psych rock and pop influences on this forty-two minutes long album. It is not as vocals dominated as their debut album. Some West-Coast psych rock influences is adding colours and indeed quality to this album.
The music is surprisingly complex and proggy too.
The vocals is good and ditto for some of the songs. This album is one of the better albums in the folk rock genre... a genre I am not a big fan of. This album won me over, though.
