Pete Cornelius wrote most of the songs on the album and does all the vocals. They are good songs for the most part and not all rockers. “Billfish Bay” is a thoughtful piece with picked guitar and slide, and in praise of fishing, in the bay of the title. “Running in the Red”, by contrast is a crunchy guitar piece with a hook, about a 57′ – Chevvie or Holden we are not told! “Youth in Asia” is a slow, overdrive 12 bar. More of a contrast is “Asher’s Room”, low instrumental with Cornelius’ overdubbed piano adding simple big chords behind a mournful minor keyed progression on guitar that slowly builds to a climax.

“Rock n Roll” is a funky blues about the usual blues subjects, money women and jobs. “Cherry Bomb” is a shuffle that drives and has a neat variation on the usual 3 chord form, with a nod towards Texas. “Stairway to Hell” keeps the Texas style and continues the driving theme. “Goin’ Down” is a showcase for Cornelius’ slide playing over a riff reminiscent of Clapton’s Crossroads. “Albatross” is probably a homage and stays close to the Peter Green original, and is, naturally, beautiful. --- blues.nz
