5.0 out of 5 stars Genius!, 4 Jan 2004
By C J Lewis (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Babe Ruth's debut, First Base is pure inspiration. The man we all have to thank is Alan Shacklock. First Base explores driving rock guitars, funky sax, beautiful vocals, perfected Spannish sounds, deep grooves, and emotional piano.

The "Vocal Power" of Janita Haan, combined with the genius arrangements of Shacklock will make the tiny hairs at the back of your neck stand on end.

Amar Caballero was released four years later in 1974. This album uses pretty much the same formula as First base. Each track will simply amaze you. From the perfect harmonies of 'lady' and the beauty of 'broken cloud', to the deep driving funk of 'gimme some leg'.

The albums fuse together perfectly: There are tracks to make you laugh, and tracks to make you cry.

Ive owned this album for several years now and each time I listen to it, I find my self submerged deeper into Shacklock's musical poetry. You simply must buy this record.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the coolest albums I've heard in ages!, 27 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This 1970s 'progressive rock' album is seriously funky stuff...still one of my favourites after two years! Highlights include For A Few Dollars More/The Mexican, King Kong and the seriously mellow Black Dog. Songs have a cross between Rock/Classical/Spanish kinda sound - maybe remeniscent of old westerns. A must-buy album IMHO - some seriously cool instrumentals on here!
