I love this song! It is a true standout from 1973.
The band is probably better known for the Joe Walsh era but this version of James Gang is from the Tommy Bolin years - he's on guitar and some vocals. Tommy is great throughout (this was his first of two albums for the band before he joined Deep Purple).
The James Gang never managed to get into the A League - thanks to the revolving door of lead guitarists. First Joe, then Domenic Troiano, then Tommy, then others. It's a patchy career.
And this is a patchy album for sure as the band try a variety of styles - Got No Time For Troubles is almost Allman Brothers for instance. I can imagine Greg Allman singing it easily. From Another Time is almost Santana without Carlos.
Where do they all belong? A one-off, with no desire to add to my James Gang collection.
