| Depending on which version of this album you get, one
of these * three songs will be on it. The second half of
this is completely solid. Man Of Miracles has one of the
best grinding organ intros that I have ever heard and is
something that Uriah Heep and Deep Purple forgot to do.
The first half is another story, two songs that are
linked,only Golden Lark and Song For Suzanne are worth
anything and they could be the best to prog songs on here
with piano, cello and the awesome harmony vocals that
would appear on the better produced A&M releases.
Golden Lark is probably the prettiest thing that DeYoung
has ever written. Unfinished Song I would have to listen
to again to give an accurate account.If they would have
dumped the three dumb rock songs this would have been a
solid album and their best Wooden Nickel release. -ProgJoe |
