This superb album makes its long-overdue CD debut here, showing Redwing to be an excellent, unfairly neglected piece of the early 1970s Californian musical jigsaw. They'd made an earlier psych-pop album as Glad, featuring Timothy B Schmit, (later of Poco and the Eagles), and when he departed they regrouped and put together this classy collection of gritty rock and roll, produced by Russ Cary. It was much-praised on its original release in 1971, but - despite gigging alongside acts including Delaney & Bonnie, Deep Purple and the Steve Miller Band, and releasing four further L.P's - the band never got the commercial breakthrough they deserved.
