That must be Rebop Kwaku Baah.

Concept credited to Vivian Stanshall

Conceptually, it doesn't sound very Viv Stanshall.

Getting quite Steve Stills/Manassas now.

I fear that this is going to be 70% a blues-rock jam. sad yes

Rebop sounds like he's playing the congas under a table.

It's no "Dream Gerard" this.

There's conspicuous lack of lyrics such as "I scream from a skull - Fritz, bring your wigwam". Colbert

It is over.

It was competent enough but not distinctive enough to be able to fully justify its existence.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

That was a very sweet and charming coda that was.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 11, 2022 7:43 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

Anyroad...

It were an album that was never exactly rubbs, but rarely gained enough momentum to sustain an assault on the memory.

There was a 1/3 of record that was genuinely good (about 1/2 of the way through), but the copybook was spoilt somewhat by the fairly lazy, dull trundle of the final main song.

Still, it was nice, mostly.

I think his next album is much better, but I forgot about it. sad yes

We used to tell it in school.

In olden times, when people were poor they only could afford whale meat to eat. sad yes
