The debut album of the Climax Chicago Blues Band (they'd later drop the "Chicago" part of the name)
was recorded on two days separated by a couple of months in 1968. As British blues revivalists,
Climax was better than most, featuring strong playing from guitarist Peter Haycock and keyboardist Art Wood.
The selections run the gamut from Chicago retreads ("Mean Old World," "Insurance," "Wee Baby Blues,"
"Don't Start Me to Talkin'") to band originals like "And Lonely," "Looking for My Baby," "Going Down This Road"
and "You've Been Drinking." If one can make it past Colin Cooper's mannered vocals,
there's much for Brit blues fans to enjoy here...(AllMusic)
