I wanted to like this album, partly because it appears to be a one-off collaboration of forgotten musicians, and partly because I wouldn`t like Cru Hoor`s first nomination to be his last.

As Joy Circumcision says, it`s very much a product of its time; a gentle, indulgent album, with several tracks that lacked any spark at all to catch my interest.
I liked
Thicker Than A Smokie and the songs which had some extra instrumentation thrown in ; the piano on
Stable The Spuds, the slide (?) on
It Didn`t Take Too Long, but for me the rather dirge-like voice and guitar of GH kept dragging the mood down. I might play it a couple of times more to see if I`m missing the point, but there`s a limit to how many times I want to listen to lyrics like these :-
I`ll drag him down
There`s no hope
Wonderin` how
Gonna meet the Pope.
