Some of Jethro's best tracks, but lacks the emotional strain that made Minstril In The Gallary a classic.
This wasn't my first time hearing the album, I had actually listened to it more than 2 years prior, and I remembered receiving a good impression, so I relistened with high hopes of potential growth.
