On this, the 4th album by american band Hot Tuna, the band moved from towards more rock and hard rock, leaving the more acoustic sound of the last first 3 albums behind. Vocalist and guitarrist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Cassidy had just left Jefferson Airplane for good and former 2nd drummer Papa John Creach had left for Jefferson Starship. They continued as a trio for the next years.

This album is very much in the vein of the 70's rock. Simple riffs, melodic singing, superb guitar playing and good songs. There are some highlights on it but some are too weak and, should I say cheesy. There were better bands than Hot Tuna in the 70's but it's not bad at all.

1)I see the light (8,0) Good Wishbone Ash-like mellow rock flow.

2)Letter to the north star (6,0) Happy jump-pop/rock.

3)Easy now (9,0) Damn good rock song!

4)Corners without exits (6,5) Mellow rock-flow.

5)Day to day out the window blues (7,0) Same as above but with more ZZ Top blues feel.

6)In the kingdom (4,5) Strange.

7)Seeweed strut (6,0) Acoustic instrumental.

8)Living just for you (6,5)

9)Soliloquy for 2 (6,0) 60's style ballad.

10)Sally, where'd you get your liquor from? (4,0) Happy-happy, traditional acoustic instrumental.

Score: 6,35
