Point Blank from Texas, USA was formed in 1974 and released this selftiteled album in 1976 as their first. They had toured heavily before the album was recorded and continued to do so. They were produced by Bill Ham, more known for his work with ZZ Top. The sound on this album is also close to ZZ Top's with their heavy bluesy boogie-rock deeply rooted in the american south. Compared to the ZZ's this album is harder and with a rougher rockfeel to it and Rusty's and Kim's twinguitarplaying is really really good. When I heard the album for the first time a few years ago I bought it right away and i have loved the band since and I've seen them live twice, something I recommend everyone to do because these guys can still rock! Sadly Phlip Petty died of cancer in 2010 and the original guitarrist Kim Davis also passed away the same year from a shotwound he caused himself. But this album smokes!

1)Free man (8,5) High octane southern rock with a crazy singer, heavy riffing and changes from midtempo to fast that incluedes some great guitarplaying.

2)Moving (8,0) Short, heavy and intense.

3)Wandering (7,0) Varies between nice ballad and chaotic guitarplaying which gets a little too much.

4)Bad bees (8,0) Short and cool boogierocker.

5)That's the law (8,0) A great midtempo southern rocker.

6)Lone star fool (7,5) Slowtempo and as always strong vocals that fits and lifts the music.

7)Distance (7,5) A beautiful ballad that builds up to an chaotic ending.

8)In this world (8,0)

Score: 7,81
