Lynne Hughes is a pretty powerful singer, and adds appeal to an album of rock and blues-rock songs by this Charlatans offshoot (a number of these songs were originally done by the Charlatans.) Rhythmic piano and occasional congas create a propulsive rhythm that works well with the laid-back structure of the songs. A male singer on four songs is solid, but nowhere near as exciting as Hughes. A few songs are in a less effective good-timey boogie style. Side one is much better than side two. Overall, a worthwhile and enjoyable album
