Stories (1973) Bridges

From their Travelling Underground album, released with the accompanying Brother Louie single, a Hot Chocolate cover that only had one other song on this album that sounded remotely from the same genre; Mammy Blue which shared the deep piano dominated raspy RnB sound of their one hit. Whereas the album is full of crisp art rock, with pianos , acoustic guitars and electric guitars and psychedelic era harmonies there brush with success didn't represent the band's fuller sound. While the guitar on this track and singer Ian Lloyd's vocal still remain powerful and soulful there isn't so much of the sultry groove of Brother Louie just a lot of top notch, pristine sounding Prog rock though admittedly it does lack a little personality its refreshing, upbeat and heavily melodic heavy rock and miles away from that song they're known for!
