It's all gone 60s.

Well, even more 60s.

Full on 1966 sounds.

That one should have been a B side.

Title track! Excited

Very Syd.

Verging on Saucerful of Secrets meets Nick Lowe.

Going a bit Cockney Rebel.

You've got to give RH some credit - his lyrics all scan and rhyme properly.

Even if they are on occasion "steak" and "hake".

Won't you WALK with me.

It is over.

It is over.

That was a very easy album to listen to, although it owed too much to other people and there was a noticeable drop-off in the second half of Side 2.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 06, 2020 7:38 pm

I shall give it 4 stars, although it probably only deserves 3.75.

by Nightjar Thu Aug 06, 2020 7:39 pm

Well, that was all quite pleasant.

Perhaps not quite as good as A Can of Bees?

RH's solo Black Snake Dîamond Röle needs to be tackled next.
