REVIEW:
By Yours truly
This is a great Ian Thomas album and one that's very hard to find these days. It's a very cohesive effort, all the tunes have strong personalities although I have my favorites. Levity, Only Believe, Back To Square One & Let The Stone Roll are all great tunes with great lyrics and melodies. There is also the original version of Modern Man on this recording, a tune that Ian redid with the Boomers. This version is slightly different than the Boomers version, which I believe I like better, but that could be just cuz I heard that version first.....
Listening to this record again tonight I'm still amazed and disappointed that Ian could never break thru to become a major player in U.S radio markets. This is an album full of great hooks and foot
tappin' rhythms, give it a chance and you too might become an Ian Thomas advocate.
