And him.

Ultimately a bit pedestrian musically.

This lot would've been brilliant to see live.

In a pub.

Tis' over.

It is over.

It was decent enough but, other than the single, lacked anything outstanding.

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

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Nightjar Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:36 pm

It's done.

I liked it.

A couple of plodders aside it was engaging and fun on the whole, embellished with the classic "Couldn't Get It Right".

Also, it was mad short - "Couldn't Get It Right" and the album.

The former - as Wendi pointed out - criminally so.

As an album it could'f done with one more song - perhaps a more distinguished final track tacked on the end?

★★★★

To keep the theme of albums by artists with one well-known and brilliant MOR-radio banger, we'll have to do an Elvin Bishop album now. yes

by Guest Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:45 pm

S'alright, I would give it 3.5, but I can't.
