After enjoying his long anticipated come-back LP "In The Skies", which proved he still got it after a long period of mental illness, I was eager to hear more new stuff from one of my favorite guitar heroes. So when this showed up about a year later the expectations were high. At first I was put down by the two opening cuts - "Loser Two times" and "Momma Don'tcha Cry" - posing as some kind of funky disco, but then after calming down there were enough signature Greeny to enjoy and I gave in. "I Could Not Ask For More" classic blues with organ and harmonica. "Little Dreamer" has the same dreamy atmosphere as Fleetwood Mac's 1969 big hit "Albatross". "Walkin' The Road" up-tempo with emotional vocals and guitars. "Cryin' Won't Bring You Back" has a kind of latino blues backing slightly reminding of another FM hit - "Black Magic Woman" - and the guitars works just fine. Even if not entirely as good as "In The Skies", still with enough delicacy to make it worth while for any blues lover and a must for fans of Greeny and the early Fleetwood Mac. Audio on This UK press is very clear with perfect separation. Almost too glossy for my taste. For the blues I prefer a dirtier and even denser outcome, but this works too. Issued and reissued pretty much all over the world on vinyl, CD or cassette through the years. US vinyl on Sail records (SAIL 0112). Japan 1997 CD on Loudwoof (CRCL 4010). Premiere UK had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with lyric/credit inner. (FXÄC*)
