I do feel it's a somewhat lacklustre performance of a fundamentally sound song.

And he was back to saying how his old manager should have been gassed as a child or something.

Instant Karma all that, eh John?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Guitar solo. Henry McCullough did have a disappointing tendency to produce solos that were basically just him playing the song's tune.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Jimmy McCulloch, on the other hand, would go for it properly.

Anyway, this song's not quite catching my attention. Quite like the descending vocal melody,

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's another one on the album that goes on twice as long as it needs to.

Test. Rest. Best.

You're better than that.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Weird whistly instrument thing.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Bongos.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Even this bit goes on twice as long as it needs to.

Track 6 - I Am Your Singer.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I think Linda gets to do some major singing on this one.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Actually, I do really like this song.

However, it's not a great performance.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Is that a recorder?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It all sort of reminds me of the Kinks on Village Green Preservation Society.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Track 7 - Tomorrow. As made famous by David Cassidy.

I do prefer Cassidy's version, as it has more oomph.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I do think this is a really good song but it has the same half-hearted feel as large parts of the rest of the album.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Terrible, cheesy, cabaret ending.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

But his voice is good on this bit.
