A deluxe reissue of Andy Robert’s splendid 1973 album, originally released on the legendary Elektra label. One of this country’s under acknowledged guitarists and song-writers, Andy Roberts was a leading member of the Liverpool Scene, Plainsong, Grimms and the Hank Wangford Band. He has toured with Roy Harper, Pink Floyd and Roger McGough amongst many. On this album his band are pianist Zoot Money (of Big Roll Band fame), B J Cole (Europe’s finest pedal steel guitarist), electric violinist Mick Kaminski (from the Electric Light Orchestra) and the fabulous Fotheringay rhythm section – Pat Donaldson and Gerry Conway. The legendary Ollie Halsall adds lead guitar on the first track. For this edition Andy Roberts has written extensive sleeve notes chronicling the recording and the background to the songs. Deluxe digipac with large full colour 16 page booklet, the package includes previously unpublished photographs and five previously unreleased bonus tracks. Carefully re-mastered from the original master tapes. Andy is currently touring with Dennis Lecorriere (of Dr Hook fame). Tracks: Speed Well / Clowns On The Road / Lord Of The Groves / Bottom Of The Garden / Kid Jealousy / The Great Stampede / High Time / Home In The Sun / (53 Miles From) Spanish Town. Bonus tracks: Home At Last / Lost Highway / Living In The Hills Of Zion / New Karenski / Having A Party.

But then Andy's not Neil Young. This welcome 1973 re-release is arguably not Andy Roberts' greatest hour (I prefer "Home Grown" or "Nina and the Dream Tree"), but it's pretty good nonetheless. Featuring great session men like BJ Cole and Zoot Money, this was set to launch a road trip to promote the album, but it all fell apart as record companies and artistes changed hands. A real shame.
Andy wrote all the tracks, and there are some gems, including "Speed Well" and the title track. A great example of 1970's folk-rock, which provided the inspiration for many of today's warblers. Andy, bless him is still gigging, and if you can catch him with Iain Matthews, his old Plainsong buddy, then beg, borrow or steal a ticket.
