Genre: pop/rock
Places I remember: Marbecks Records (Auckland)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Country Mile
Gear costume: Moonchild
Active compensatory factors: Roger Glover (yes, the bassist for Deep Purple) came on board for this album and added some finesse and clarity to proceedings for Rory: Moonchild and Calling Card are good examples.
It's quite a varied album from Rory this time. Calling Card is a nice change of pace, Moonchild is almost a love song (as much as Rory ever does a love song), Barley and Maple Rag is folk, I'll Admit You've Gone is an accoustic beauty and there are some rock songs in the mix as well.
Thanks to the band being on top form (Lou Martin plays some lovely piano on Calling Card and Rod de'Ath is also at his best) with Glover producing, Rory can excel on vocals and guitar.
Where do they all belong? The last with this line up - only Gerry McAvoy remained beyond this one.
