Good hard boogie rock from 1971, the best year for music ever. Nice guitar and hard material make for a good listen. So catch a buzz, put on the headphones and listen.

This is the definition of solid and consistent. The vocal performance is great and the playing is tight. There's no bombast or posturing here, it's all understated but heart-felt bluesy rock with great song-writing and a wonderfully warm production, as only the early '70s can offer. These qualities stretch over the whole album, not a sniff of repetition or filler to be found.

Ian Snow (drums) and James Smith (vocals) were both in Asgærd which made one very different album to this, sounding more like an English version of Styx or Kansas, but it was good.

Has anybody heard the track "Move Away" listed as A4 here? Was it only on the original vinyl? I have not seen it on any re-issues, which all have 11 tracks only.

The album begins with a plaintive ode to the mysterious "Stonehouse Creek", lamenting the loss of a well-loved local beauty spot, and then kicks off proper with the good-time bluesrock vibes of "Hobo". This fully establishes the band's tight skills; Ian Snow's funky drumming, Peter Spearings's nimble blues licks, Terry Parker's adventurous bass lines and Jim Smith's versatile wide-range vocal abilities. The second track is a real highlight of the album, "Cheater", with Jim's impassioned and brooding performance matching Pete's doom-laden blues riff.

"Nightmare" opens with Terry's quirky, slightly proggy bassline, and this is the first track to include some light piano embellishment, the inclusion of which Jim will voice his minor grievances on later in the interview. Personally speaking, although piano can generally take the edge off hard rock, I like it on this album. It's well played, not over-powering, and it suits an LP which has a good-natured, fun vibe over-all.

Toward the end, "Don't Push Me" introduces some great Sabbathian, progressive riffing. "Topaz" is a compact, groovy instrumental, perfect for those that like Led Zep's "Moby Dick" but tend to reach for fast-forward at a certain point; this one is drum-solo free haha. Along with the earlier track "Ain't No Game", "Four Letter Word" delves into deeper lyrical subject matters, supporting tolerance and anti-war sentiments. The album reprises nicely with Stonehouse Creek pt2, coming back full circle to the homely pleasures of hanging about fishing on a lazy summer afternoon.
