Musically this album is something of a corker! “Up The Hard Way” struts forth and introduces itself as an instant blues-rock classic. Simple but hugely effective its a smoking, mid-tempo number that’s very much in the Free mould then explodes for a wild guitar only solo that even has hints of “Eruption” years before Van Halen’s début. The slower, heavier blues of “A Long Way To Go” is introduced by a fantastic, melancholic guitar sound and delivered with a fine vocal that really doesn’t need the female, gospel style backing. “Goodbye World” is a darker, some would say miserable, lyric that combines beautifully with the sad, country-rock guitar and just in case you were getting suicidal the excellent boogie-blues tribute to a “Lazy Cow” lifts things back to a higher tempo and injects an element of humour. Think Skynyrd’s “Gimme Three Steps” on this one and you’re not far off.
As the album drifts towards it’s conclusion the mood gets slower and more restrained. The instrumental guitar showcase “Angels Theme” segues into the dirty hard-rock of “Goodboy Badboy” (or “Goodboy Badboy” if you believe cddb over the cover!) before the gentle yet superb ballad “Blindman” mellows proceedings. “Northern Girl” too is initially a slower song that again gives spotlight to some great and superbly economic blues guitar work whilst a rip-roaring finish borrows a tune that I can’t for the life of me put a name on, but will forever bug me until I do. The final song again reprises that country feel but this time for a bar-room sing-along entitled “Hot Damn Home-Made Wine“. (itog.info)
Overall a superb early rock album done few favours by this cheap looking release.
