Review
Still a good album

This is Little River Band’s first album from 1975 and it has held up pretty well.

The album was never a real classic, but it’s good. It does sound pretty derivative in places; the opener, It’s Long Way There is a good song with some very nice West-Coast sounding harmonies, but it bears more than a passing resemblance to David Crosby’s Long Time Gone from Crosby, Stills & Nash. I get this sense throughout the album – that it sounds rather like stuff I’ve already heard. However, it’s all well done, with good vocals and some nice guitar work so it’s still an enjoyable listen.

There’s nothing strikingly memorable here, but if you like that CSN sort of sound then you’ll probably like this.
