REVIEW:
By Yours Truly

Well, I bought this cuz of the record cover. I mean is that cool or what. I figured if they had spent that much effort on the cover than it made sense that they’d spend at least as much energy on the music inside and within seconds of putting the album on the turntable for the first playing, I realized I was right. This album has a definite sound and feel to it and it rocks. Great Drumming, lots of great keyboard work and some awesome guitar. Among the 8 tunes is a great cover of Walk Away Renee, the old Left Banke tune. The fact that this work of art got over looked in the late 70’s isn’t a big surprise. Loads of great albums got left by the wayside as “tastes” changed and other styles of music found public favor as the latest fad. Ancient Medicine was Baby Grand’s second and final effort but that’s not to say it’s members gave up, they adapted to the times and came back with a new band for the ‘80’s called the Hooters who were quite good also, albeit quite different from Baby Grand’s groove. I consider this record a lost classic of Rock & Roll. Made to be played loud and absorbed thru all the sensory outputs you possess.
