One of Last's most adventurous albums. It is a mix of easy, mood and upbeat tracks but features the full orchestra sound and choir. There’s a lot of moody, electric guitar in the background, especially in “Rainy Rainy”. A brilliant, powerful version of ‘House of the Rising Sun’ with the electric guitar taking the place of the vocal, and a very sensitive interpretation of ‘Ballad of the Easy Rider’. A vibrant string section majors in ‘Evie’ and ‘The Pearl Fishers’. Trumpets are to the fore in most tracks. Recorded in 1970, its well worth a listen.
