Irish group founded 1966 and only releasing two albums before breaking up 1970. This was the second. (For more on group members and music check my post on their debute http://monolover.blogspot.se/2012/07/taste-583-042-69.html ) . As on the first LP the main impression is basic guitar-driven raw bues, but some of the tracks here are more towards jazz. If the debute was borderline hard-rock this is marginal prog. Rory Gallagher had a rather prosperous solo carrer after break-up, but he never topped his performance here. The guitars are as reliable as innovative, skillfully performed through various styles. According to back cover he's also the one playing the very sufficient alto-sax on a few of the tracks and it's surprisingly good. The recording sounds relatively simple - straight on with few overdubs - giving a close connection. Produced by Tony Colton. I truly enjoy all of it, but for now my favorite tracks are - "Eat My Words" and "I'll Remember". First US on ATCO (SD 33-296). Premiere UK had label as shown here and thin structured cover. (GÄG*)
