This's a fun nugget for the amateur music historian, a '72 nudge on the British pendulum, away from prog and general rock bombast, back to blues-revival grit, leading to pub rock and punk by extension, arriving right alongside Americana classics like Exile and Muswell Hillbillies. Neat, right?
Absent that context, it doesn't sound like anything all that special though. Pretty similar to stuff that came before and after, every song plodding along with dust and rustle and a distant memory of the blues. It makes for a slow-day listen, but drained of any ambition other than to shake off the frills it ends up feeling uninspired 3/5
