Given the bewildering number of US tours TYA did, it's surprising that they had enough time to come up with so many good albums. Of the several I've heard (not all, admittedly) this one stands out. The production strikes the perfect balance between bringing out the quality of the individual performers and the energy of the whole. Alvin Lee was clearly on a creative high with his writing and all facets of the band's roots are explored here. Blues, jazz, rockabilly and hard rocking (not heavy metal) are all on show, all superbly done. There's even a fine, gentle, melodic song featuring acoustic guitar ('Circles'). A seven-minute version of their sole UK hit, 'Love Like A Man' is the centrepiece and Leo Lyons' bass playing is especially imaginative on this. The exhilarating workout, 'Working On The Road' is another highlight. I started my TYA collection with this album and I'd recommend anyone else to do the same.

Cricklewood Green,offers the finest example of an explosive late sixties British blues band making the transision to middle seventies ephemeral rock,
just as frontman Alvin Lee was inspired by the likes of John Mayall,Eric Clapton etc. many artists for years to come,would take their cue from this timeless and pivitol collection.Containing blues,hard driving and space exploring guitar solos,through to melodic,
soulsearching acoustic work.It even boasts a Sfi-Fi number(listen carefully,you will hear some of the most wonderfully played acoustic solos you are ever ilkely to come across!),the first one of it's kind I do believe!
To any kind of listener who loves being awestruck
by the power and honesty of blues/rock take my words for it,this album does not dissapoint.
