Album Notes & Community Reviews

Family's third album arrived after lineup changes and strengthened the band's reputation for idiosyncratic British rock built around Roger Chapman's vocals. 'A Song for Me' balances compact songs with extended arrangements, linking the group's psychedelic beginnings to the heavier and more progressive direction of their early-1970s work.
