Reviewer Sven Eriksen

Released 1972, but not on CD until now, Dave Cousins’ solo album was made between Grave New World and Bursting At The Seams, in co-operation with, among others, Rick Wakeman, Roger Glover, Jon Hiseman and Miller Anderson, is a psychedelic-ish record altering between folk songs and rock. Nice woodwind arrangements by Robert Kirby on a couple of tracks, outside of that, complete anarchy rules regarding musical styles, from straightforward blues in Going Home to the original version of Blue Angel, perhaps Cousins’ finest composition ever..
