There are two main types of songs on this album, the hard blues-rock and what I'd like to call "Golden Age" classic rock. I pick this moniker, because, even 35 years ago, the lyrics of rock songs on this album took my imagination into places hardly any other rock or even folk lyrics would go . . . for instance, back to the fabled Golden Age [cradled around the region of the Aegean Sea and the eastern Mediterranean ] before the advent of modern civilization. On other songs, even when the imagery hedges into the obscure and surreal, it stimulates both the interior personal and the archetypal within us, as well as the larger mythical and universal regions of our collective psyches. These songs, because of the beauty, passion and confident inventiveness of their melodies and the surety of their performance make it easy to believe in what is being said. The songs are large in scope, sometimes beautiful, other times strange, but always have more than a bit of the power of deeply running, ancient spirit in them. And they are extremely well executed and well produced.
