"andy fairweather low's vocals is a hybrid of rod stewart and jon anderson, perharps steve perry.
to the current generation he is better known as the 2nd guitarist for eric clapton. yet if you can believe it, andy was once a teen idol even before eric. quite an interesting mix of tunes here:
2 renditions of beatles tunes with somewhat quite original treatment. a tune of roy wood (move) , a creedance clearwater hit,
and some good soul tunes made famous by the greats of the era (sam & dave, otis redding). here amen corner adds their own british blue eyed soul rendering of these chestnuts. enjoyable collection from this welsh group from cardiff. good arrangement and certainly a good album for the pub, after a vigorous match of rugby or football (soccer to those in america). for the european supporters, try "penny lane" for the october fest."
