I think the first one really holds up....listened to it a few times in the
last year and on my Ipod(we carry 'em both, too). 5 of the 9 songs, if I
recall t he number correctly, are very good to excellent mid/late 70's
post-Bad Company/bluesy Led Zep rock....."Detective Man" is a rocker I've
never tied of over the years. Michael Des Barres(ex-Silverhead and hubby of
groupie Pamela) has a perfect voice for the material. The band were
excellent sort of rock 'n roll journeymen professionals - great players but
a bit lacking in that special 'character' that makes bands in this genre
light up for posterity. As a budget reissues go, this album for fans of
70's hard rock w/ a bluesy base will find this album holds up pretty well
and for newbies, a pretty darn good find.
The second album? Eh. (the live at Atlantic Studios quasi-boot is pretty
good, if you can find it)
Ta,
