Wishbone Ash's 4th (yes really!) album was a more calm and sensitive folk-like album than their rockier twin-guitar-laden previous albums. It has an Pink Floyd/Barclay James Harvest atmosphere mixed with some rockier songs. An album worth exploring since it has a lot of melody and feeling and since it was made in the 70's guarantees a kind of quality-stamp! A bit too soft for me even though there are some good melodies, singing, nice guitarplaying but foremost feeling!
1)So many things to say (7,5) Midtempo rock with raspy vocals.
2)Ballad of the Beacon (7,5) A very Barclay James Harvest-feel to this sweet melodic ballad with á capella-vocals and nice guitarplaying.
3)No easy road (7,0) Rock'n'roll with horns.
4)Everybody needs a friend (6,0) Sugarsweet ballad that's too cheesy.
5)Doctor (7,0) Just a plain rocker.
6)Sorrel (7,5) Beautiful low key melodic song.
7)Sing out the song (5,0) Very low key country-ish.
8)Rock'n'roll widow (7,5) Cool and variated soft-rock.
Score: 6,88
