Steamhammer's debut is clearly entrenched into the second wave of British Blues Boom
along with TYA , Savoy Brown , PG's Fleetwood Mac and others. However , this album has
enough progressive overtones to indicate that the next albums will be of more interest for
the scope of the site.
There are many fine moments on this album full of good interplay and good songwriting
making this album a sort of example of progressive blues and proto-prog. The two part
water is actually book-ending the album and some tracks such as Junior's Wailing , Even
The Clock and 24 hours are very enjoyable. Hardly essential listening in the Archives's
scope , this albunm remains a very pleasant spin in your deck. much better is to come,
though.
Please note that this album came out with different sleeves back then and that all
Steamhammer records have been reissued on the Repertoire label in the early 90's,
although never in the mini-lp format as here on the Italian label Akarma.
