Re: Lonesome Crow
hmm. I have this album (and thanks to lads' suggestion re-listened).
Firstly, it *is* radically different from later "Spinal-Tap-like" output which, perhaps, this band is better-known for.
Secondly, are a multitude of different elements that can be heard in other content here on the station - and the title track is quite experimental - definitely NOT 3.5 minute adolescent pap.
There is no doubt about the strength of the vocal and guitar work.
The most striking thing, perhaps, is that this material has a lot of space in it - which is not characteristic of Top-40 heavy rock.
IMO - I'd say 50/50 - it wouldn't sound out of place here - but, equally, I'm happy to reach for the CD if I want to hear it.
If Jim doesn't have it - and wants a listen - I'm happy to oblige.
