The group's third release, 'Mountains' is Possibly Steamhammer's most complete album, featuring amongst it's eight tracks a nice mixture of Their trademark brand of earthy blues-rock with tinges of psychedelia and some nicely-judged progressive elements.Steamhammer's career what, unfortunately, a fairly letter one, with their discography made up of just four studio albums, but they were a talented group of musicians whose style album, with the straight ahead blues developed noticeably on each-rock of their debut ' reflections 'gradually making way for a more experimental approach evident on each of their following albums and culminating with the epic prog-blues of 1972's 'Speech'. () Despite their limited together 'mountains' time features as it's second track on excellent live rendition of the old blues track ' riding on the L & N', thus showcasing the it band arena tight interplay in the live. And it's a great start to a great album, with ' riding on the L & N' coming after a cracking opener in the form of ' I wouldn't have thought', a song that starts with a funky, rolling groove before completely hi-jacking the listener by unexpectedly morphing into a mesmerising, deeply psychedelic and seemingly never-ending guitar solo from white which slowly builds up momentum before the original groove crashes back in. It's a wonderfully eclectic track and it is this mixture of blues boogie and prog-orientated ideas that gives the album a fascinating slant, cleverly combining toe-tapping rhythms with a highly-orchestrated, multi-layered sound that incorporates elements of early metal and rock ' n' roll alongside the more obvious blues and prog motifs. The group show so they could write more sensitive songs as well, with the beautifully-crafted 'Hyder' showing Steamhammer's softer-side and the final track, 'Mountains', showing off Martin Pugh's wonderfully gruff vocals to full effect. Fans of the Groundhogs, ten years after, John Mayall blues band, Led Zeppelin and cream should find much to admire both on 'Mountains' and the group's previous two albums, with the being that Steamhammer's career what only disappointment, simply put, far too short.
