The third release by
Kim Simmonds and company, but the first to feature the most memorable lineup of the group:
Simmonds, "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, Tony "Tone" Stevens,
Roger Earl, and charismatic singer
Chris Youlden. This one serves up a nice mixture of blues covers and originals, with the first side devoted to studio cuts and the second a live club date recording. Certainly the standout track, indeed a signature song by the band, is the
tour de force "Train to Nowhere," with its patient, insistent buildup and pounding train-whistle climax. Additionally,
David Anstey's detailed, imaginative sleeve art further boosts this a notch above most other British blues efforts.
