Rare but a good find if located
Review written by John Fitzgerald, December 21st, 2004 I may have gone in to this album not expecting much as I had heard of it being referred to as "not being one of Dave's best" and those critics may be right considering many great underrated Kelly recordings that have surfaced over the years but this is a good set once you get used to the sometimes lightweight attempts on it's poorer tracks (such as the "should've been" rocker, the Delaney Bramlett/Mac Davis penned "Hello L.A. bye bye Birmingham", funny though how Birmingham was most likely used out of context here from Alabama to England's famous Midlands city), don't let such tracks and comments sway you though. Another example of a rocker that may sound as if it doesn't work is the opening "Gotta keep running" as, maybe I would have felt differently had I heard the Brunning Sunflower version after this one and it's really not that bad after you get used to it but on first listen, it would be reasonable to prefer the Sunflower take though Peter Green here has his wah wah petal in action, sounding here like his work to an extent on the late great Peter Bardens' "The answer" album, though more restrained naturally. Brunning is also on this track as well as the other 2 Green featured tunes which are the funk like "You got it" (on which Brunning's busy bass lines keep it moving and Green is still using the wah wah but he's more in rhythmic mood here which I suppose helps it's funk aspects) and in contrast, "Green winter" is a lean rocking instrumental. Here, Dave & Peter go to town on the guitar leads, Peter's strong leads do override Dave's more slide sounding parts and although this only lasts a little over two minutes in length, it is enjoyable to the end from it's bracing, halfway to "Curly" (nowhere near as distorted/heavy etc. though), opening lick. Green refrains from the wah wah on this track too making it all the more pleasing. Kelly talks in Brunning's "Blues: The British connection" book of there being at least one other Green/Kelly track that "must be in Mercurys vaults somewhere" so hopefully someone at Mercury will think to dig this album out and expand it on CD with such tracks. In fact, Brunning plays on all tracks here expect three, which are "Fair theme" (which is an acoustic guitar and flute filled medieval sounding jingler), "The fields of night" (which displays piano & acoustic guitar flavors along with the odd horn puffs which is rather pop like in comparison to most other present tracks though it does suffer from a dated, less electric Jefferson Airplane type feel) and "Brooklyn bridge" (which is my favorite track after GW), a nice folky chiming acoustic and light electric guitar & vocal showcase for both Dave and his late great sister Jo Ann, (who also guests on four other tracks). As for the rest of the tracks Brunning is on, there's "No fun for me" (which to me sounds like an acoustic take on the way the Rolling Stones used to perform "Love in vain"), "Way I feel today", (a harmonica drenched tumbler) "Poor old Bill", (a New Orleans style dragger) "It's you" (which is another popish song, this time, it's piano featured and has a good hook, this one works and shouldn't be overlooked) and the closing roll & tumble shouter "Get right church" which has Dave & Jo Ann in more purist surroundings and shows why they are masters at what they do. This track is a grower though as is most of this album in fact. This album did come across as more varied though compared to Dave's other hard to find Mercury album I heard years ago called "Keeps it in the family". Unfortunately, this album is also very scarce these days but if you can find it, you should grab it and even if not right away, in time, you will be glad you did.
