5.0 out of 5 stars Same Name, But Different Band, 11 Nov 2007
By C. S. Grant (London & Essex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unlike the other review of this album on this site, I believe this to be a cracking album. Yes this is a diffferent band, whereas the two major forces of Lindisfarne, Hull and Jackson remain, a rockier outfit join the line-up. The original band were a terrific folk-rock band, whereas this may be more rock-folk, if such a definition can exist. There are plenty of accoustic guitars and mandolins remain, but with a heavier bass, which Tommy Duffy plays with some melodic meat, more powerful electric guitar sounds from Charlie Harcourt and fine rock-style drumming from Paul Nichols. Add the late-Kenny Craddock's keyboards and additional electric and accoustic guitars to the mix and the Mk 2 make a fine sound. The songs are not ponderous, but the slower songs have feeling, such as Hull's, "When The War Is Over" and a particular favourite, "Roll On River", sung really well by Ray Jackson. There are some orchestral arrangements added, which is on a grander scale than the original line-up's albums, but certainly adds to the flavour, such as "Roll On River". Duffy and Craddock are able to write catchy songs in this case almost as well as Alan Hull. This album is not dull, but an absolute joy. This was an over-looked album, because of the rockier sounds around at the time and that the Mk 1 band was so well loved. Lastly, I saw this Mk 2 Lindisfarne perform much of this album at the Rainbow and they didn't disappoint.

2.0 out of 5 stars Crawl on Lindisfarne, 3 Jul 2006
By S. C. Trump "stevect" (Upminster, Essex) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In the aftermath of the breakup upf Lindisfarne in 1972, original band leader Alan Hull plus Ray jackson recruited four new musicans to form a band called Lindisfarne (usually known as Lindisfarne mark 2). They recorded two albums, the first of which was this album recorded on the famous Charisma label.

It's been a fair few years to wait for a cd release for this album but here it is at long last. The album is not a classic so I guess EMI/Virgin who now own the Charisma catalogue felt there was little commercial potential except among diehard fans and completists. That's probably a fair view as the album is at best patchy and at worst dreary. It does however sound sharper and brighter on cd as opposed to murky vinyl but cannot hide the shortage of decent songs.

The albums highpoints for me are in fact the first three tracks. Alan Hulls 'Taking care of business' was the first and only single release and it predictably bombed but the song is very pointed lyrically blasting band managers who milk for profit and hold bands to contracts which pay little to the band and lots to the manager ! The song is traditional Lindisfarne. So is the following track 'North Country Boy' written by Tommy Duffy and this song was the singles b-side. The best track on the album is next up; Alan Hulls 'Steppenwolf' is not traditional Lindisfarne at all but is a rather riff based and featuring a good vocal line from Ray Jackson with Alan Hull slotting in a line himself somewhat unexpectedly. This song should not be confused with the Hawkwind song of the same name. 'Nobody loves you any more' is rather forgettable and so is 'When the war is over', not one of Alans best ballads. I don't care much for 'Moonshine' and 'Lazy' either nor the (almost) title track 'Roll on River' but 'Tow the line' is the highpoint of what was side 2 of the original album, an up-tempo singalong type song. The final track 'Goodbye' is OK but not particularly special and contains abrupt tempo changes.

The cd release contains four bonus tracks from a BBC radio broadcast, all taken from the next album 'Happy Daze' which is currently not available on cd. All these tracks were previously made available on an album called 'Dealers Choice' released a few years ago so they are not that rare. Similar mediocraty applies to these songs with only 'Tonight' standing out as particularly memorable. Don't hold your breath for a cd release of 'Happy Daze'.

The cd release of 'Roll on Ruby' contains no sleeve notes or lyrics but does include photos of the original record label which featured the Charisma Mad Hatter design. The disc itself features the magenta Charisma scroll label design that predated the Mad Hatter design - this looks like a goof to me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Go on buy it!, 27 Jun 2009
By Neil Mc (London) - See all my reviews
OK, admittedly not an absolute classic. However! The top tracks are truly top tracks. I can't get this cd off the car stereo. The production is great, play it loud to appreciate the great melodic bass. The playing is superb with the orchestration really adding extra emotional punch. I agree with the other reviewer STEPPENWOLF is fantastic, a strangely emotional rocking romp with a great brass fade out(turn the bass up)! GOODBYE, daft lyrics about a Medieval jester (I think) but so soulful and beautifully sung, then the heavy HEAVY bass and drum starts the refrain which is pure joyous/melancholic end of party, time to go home vibe.

ROLL ON RIVER is just a pure classic, soulful melody with the pure and heart rendering vocals of Ray Jackson and again that solid production with the swelling orchestral fade.

Now, I love HAPPY DAZE so the bonus live tracks are a real - bonus.

IN MY HEAD (or is it hand) is one of my all time favourites. This is folky rock with a soul melody. The solo, then group vocals are just magic (or marvellous). Like an English version of the Band, so melodic but really rocking with a mad Bob Dylan impression from Alan thrown in for good measure, then finishing with that trademark melanchonic (sorry to use the same word again) Ray Jackson harmonica.

This is quality music, even the not so good tracks are superb by most atists standards.

Go on, buy it!
