Format:Audio CD
Reach for the Sky was the album which spawned the Sutherland Brothers & Quiver's biggest hit, Arms of Mary. Also included are songs such as When The Train Comes and Dirty City which display the song-writing and musical talent of the group. The title track is a delightful tuneful song where the acoustic bass of Gavin Sutherland is highlighted. Ain't Too Proud seems to owe something to the Temptations number Ain't Too Proud to Beg. Dirty City is driven along by typical Sutherlands rhythm guitar. Throughout the sublime harmony of the vocals of Ian and Gavin Sutherland take one back to a time when rock music had hooks galore and could be danced to or just listened to. This is a CD which you will return to many times. Arms of Mary is available on other compilations but here it is presented in its original glory.

Followed this band from when they were the duo, through their collaboration with Quiver,and then into their solo careers, and this is without doubt the best album they put together.
Hard to pick the highlights as they are all so good.
Dr Dancer has a ripper of a baseline and is a great song.
Love on the moon is a song I've played and loved for the past 20 odd years, and will play till I die.
Every other track has something for fans of all genre's.
Quite simply brilliant, and could not have been bettered in terms of production, writing, and harmonisation.
Not bad for a 5 piece band.
If you like this, you should listen to their album Beat of the Street.Quality.
Charlie (just a fan and not known to any of them...).

They Reached It
28 Feb 2000
Format:Audio CD
This is possibly their best album, and contains their only charting U.S. single, Arms Of Mary. Concise hook filled pop songs with fine guitar work. When The Train Comes really grooves along. Still waiting for their other fine latter day albums, Slipstream, Night Comes Down, and Down To Earth, to come out on CD.

Best of a great band
30 Aug 2001
Format:Audio CD
Simply put, Reach for the Sky represents the pinnacle of the Sutherland Brother's underappreciated output. Released in 1975, it contains 10 concise, melodic cuts and seems to exist well apart from its 1970s context. The recording is crisp and clear; the arrangements spare and invigorating. 25 years ago I awaited each new recording from this band and, sadly, not many more were forthcoming. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend Gavin Sutherland's 2000 CD "Diamond's and Gold" (see http://www.gavinsutherland.net/).

Excellent Country-Tinged Brit Pop
6 Nov 1999
Format:Audio CD
By the time this record came out SB&Q was down to 4 members from the original 6. No matter, they were still great. The Albert's production is excellent, the band cooks on the When the train comes, Tim Renwick's guitar solo on Ain't to Proud to Beg is exquisite. There is not a bad song on the album - buy it and enjoy it.
