| Ultimately a bit pedestrian musically.

| This lot would've been brilliant to see live.
In a pub.

All that gumpf on the right is written by Charles Shaar Murray, I bet he keeps that one quiet these days. |

| 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.  _________________ |

| 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.

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