was he a rocker? yes!!, and he did great!... as a blues-man, i really do not dig in ...i like every song from this record except one of the ballads ... too bluesy for me... material here is good: over the hills and far away, wild frontier, take a little time, thunder rising, friday on my mind ... great rockers. instrumental masterpiece, the loner's here too. strangers in the darkness and johnny boy are great ballads (though i prefer the rockers) ... and as a bonus are the 12'' version from the 2 first songs i named.
why does he kind-of-'renegade' of the hard rock? well, he has the right if he wants to, but sincerely, gary, i prefer your past compositions. by far. exception to make to the last instrumental i heard: beasts of burden ... intimate & lovely, really great ... but that is another story
9/10 brilliant
