A great album that is, somehow, lacking something.
After reading the obituary for saxophonist John Hiseman, I downloaded this album from YouTube.
Though Hiseman's saxophone playing is second to no one else in the rock world and I can appreciate how innovative and inventive the music was for it's time, I can't help but feel a certain sense of this album being derivative. For example, though "Backwater Blues" sounds good, it evokes a sense of the band floundering, not really sure what they want to be or achieve.
Overall, something well worth listening to but just a tad short of worth buying.
