More info on the band; see also 48) Point Blank-Second Season 1977 and 36) Point Blank-Point Blank 1976, both filed under "Southern Rock".
This, the 4th album from Texans Point Blank somewhat kept to their 70's sound but with a slightly poppier sound. An okey album that I play sometimes.
1)Turning back (8,0) Superincredible mainriff and furious singing from mr. O'Daniel but way too short.
2)The hard way (7,0) Midtempo rocker.
3)On the run (6,5) The vocals sounds like it's recorded in a metalcan, otherwise it's a nice jazzy and funky song.
4)Highway star (8,5) Liveversion of the Deep Purple-song. It may seem strange to have it on a studioalbum but I understand why, it doesn't get much more rock'n'roll than this! It's a fantastic version of the old classic and the crowd is going nuts!
5)Rock'n'roll soldier (6,0) Happy happy times!
6)Guessing game (7,0) Tempochanging and twinguitarsoloing!
7)Wrong to cry (7,0) Live again and this is a slow blues.
8)Thank you mama (8,0) Live, uptempo bluesboogierocknroller!
