Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by guitarist Mick Abrahams following his acrimonious departure from Jethro Tull, this formidable band constructed a heavy, exceptionally tight fusion of blues and jazz. The debut effort is driven by Abrahams' gritty riffing and Jack Lancaster's distinctive saxophone and flute contributions, offering a complex alternative to standard British blues-rock.
