We gave their output a recent spin, as another part of Cherry Red’s grand ambition to revisit every page of rock’s back pages, watching Anderson start off just as the singer, on second guitar, before taking on lead duties of that instrument as well. a brass-heavy blues band, unafraid to dip into jazzier waters. But we’ll get to that.īy 1971 Anderson had garnished himself a decent name, as singer and guitarist in the Keef Hartley Band. Which explains perhaps also why this wan’t quite the anticipated breakthrough, with a sense that management might be pulling a different direction from the player himself. Don’t let that put you off, though, as this actually does epitomise the, admittedly, sometime schizophrenic avenues that rock music was taking back then, embracing influences aplenty, and absorbing ideas way beyond a standard 4:4 boogie. Funny old year 1971 just ask David Hepworth, although I am uncertain whether this album was ever on his shortlist, the one around proving his thesis about that year being the one above all others.
