The debut CD by English band, Family, is among the classic albums of the era as the band demonstrates that they like their contemporaries--the Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Traffic, and others--had as much talent as any of their brethren. One has to experience delight in hearing the vast musical influences combined with the experimentation of the times, something that drew me in right from the start. I urge all fans of the era to give this CD a listen as it will make similar impact on you. Roger Chapman is a unique vocalist who can cover a wide range of sound while Charlie Whitney is a superb guitarist and fine backup vocalist. Ric Grech is a powerful bassist and would move on to recognition in Blind Faith while Jim King's horns are as delightful as was Chris Wood's with Traffic. Rob Townsend is a percussionist who ranks among the best, all of which, makes for a well-crafted CD, one you need to hear.
