Just like Hot Tuna's latest album two years earlier there is a big difference between songs, as some are quite mellow and half boring and other rock like like hell with blistering guitar solos and long jamming sessions.
Sammy Piazza had left the band and was raplaced by Bob Steeler who really lifts the songs with his frantic drumming! Kaukonen's guitarplaying is also very nice. The album reached nr. 75 on the Billboard chart.
1)Sleep song (5,5) Boring sleepy song.
2)Funky nr. 7 (7,0) A nice guitar-chaotic funky rocker.
3)Walkin' blues (7,5) A Robert Johnson-cover. Bluesrock that just goes on and on but it's good anyway.
4)Invitation (6,0) Flowing rock song that's too long.
5)Hot single nr. 1 (8,5) Very good 70's rocker with a nice slow flow, good melody and nice guitarplaying.
6)Serpent of a dream (7,0) Nice mellow Wishbone Ash-flow in this one.
7)I don't wanna go (7,0)
8)Great divide: Revisted (5,0) Very boring, gaasp.
Score: 6,69
