Roxanne Walsh
My record collector's life started in the 1960s with compilation albums from Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones that I urged my parents to buy for me. Myself, I just could afford singles from my pocket money. If I recall correctly, the first album I bought myself was the Doors debut album, although that was in 1968 already - prior to that I had recorded their songs with a hand held microphone and a cassette recorder from the family radio. I have not stopped listening and collecting since then.

Roxanne Walsh's Album Reviews
It is all about expectations.
If someone still expects some masterwork or a return to the initial phase of the band - forget it.
What we get are 12 interesting, very well performed and produced tracks from a (meanwhile) professional band. Most songs have their moments and each one at least keeps you interested in what the next one will bring.
Nothing stands out or tries to prove anything but as a whole this is an enjoyable and at times even joyful album and really worth listening to. Just forget the name of the band for an hour and try not to compare it with something that is long part of a history.
