5.0 out of 5 stars suddenly it's 1973 again, 8 Dec 2001
Dream Kid is a great example of what the Sutherland Brothers could do. It is a portrait of a band in transition; the folk influences (check out earlier Suth Bros efforts, like Lifeboat or Sutherland Brothers Band) shine through on tracks like Seagull/Lonely Love; the full influence of new arrivals from Quiver, especially Tim Renwick on guitar, shines through on tracks like Saved by the Angel/Rocky Road.

Why not play the game of who could write the best songs, Gavin or Iain Sutherland. Iain is quite a traditional rock writer whereas Gavin is more folky. Iain would go on to write Arms of Mary, so no doubt he is the richer of the two now.

By the way on my version of this there are a couple of extra tracks not listed on the sleeve, so don't accuse Sony of short-changing you. The tracks are Silver Sister and Don't Mess Up, which were worthy b-sides of SBQ singles.

The title track was almost a hit. "Almost" is a word which sums up the not-quite-a-success nature of a lot of the Sutherlands' stuff, but the fact the songs here are virtually unknown adds to their allure.

Those of you looking for influences of the 70s on later decades may wish to know that Tim Renwick (lead guitar) went on to play on some Pink Floyd records, Bruce Thomas (bass) went on to be an (Elvis Costello and the) Attraction, and Peter Woods worked on with Cyndi Lauper before his untimely death.

As a final thought, play Bohemian Rhapsody and Rollin' Away/Rocky Road/Saved by the Angel one after the other, and work out for yourself who invented the extended, multi-layered rock song. And what it the better opening line: "Is this a real life, or is it fantasy" or "Wasn't I the one who made your life come true? Wasn't I the one who tried for you". Spread SBQ on your roll and sausages!

Island Records in the 70s did not produce anything more intriguing than this bunch of guys.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dream - Can't Wait for 32 July, 1 Nov 2001
The Sutherland Brothers first Lp with Quiver and a masterpiece. If you listen youcan find pop, folk, blues, prog and rock in the songs.
There's a hint of "blues" in every track, but usually with a hint of hope, so there's no need to get depressed.
Personal favourites are Champion the Underdog, Bluesy World and Dream Kid, but I really feel there is no bad track.
Highly recommended and often played.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do You Remember In Those Cowboy Films ?, 7 April 2007
The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver albums are becoming collectors items it would seem by the lack of availability and prices you now have to pay to get the back catalogue on CD. Although Sony in 2002 bought out a best of album, there needs to be a volume 2 and the CD release of the wonderful Down To Earth from 1977/8 which has never materialised.

Agree completely with the last reviewer so read his excellent review and note. Gavin is still producing music (check his myspace site) in North East Scotland with his 'The Well' project after Diamonds and Gold in 2000. Perhaps however, the last reviewer did forget that he wrote 'Sailing' which I suggest, might have received more royalties than Iain's 'Arms Of Mary'.

This album was their third overall but first in the UK for the newly formed SB+Q. Although on saying that, Lifeboat was released in the US under their joint name but with a different track listing and new songs. You Got Me Anyway/Not Fade Away was released as a single here in the UK but never made this album which was unfortunate. However, this is still a brilliant album, with Champion The Underdog and its excellent lyrics, title of this review is the first line of the song, the stand-out for me.

I am still pressing the record company. currently Universal, to release tracks not available on CD and would welcome any support.
