Third effort by this interesting crew that combines the mature voice of Rumpf (easily the best continental female blues singer) with the dexterous guitars of Baumann. The rhythm section is tight and Kravetz fills the holes. The first track is disappointing, sounding all too familiar American, but the bluesy title track is very atmospheric. Afterwards, Singing songs sounds slightly common. Much better material on side B makes up for this. I'm afraid, big moon evokes a scary feeling and boasts excellent driving rock as well. Impressive climax is the very emotional Release, a gripping tale about a friend who cannot be saved from his drug addiction. The closing track is disappointingly conventional again.
An exciting live photograph of the singer on the front cover, very nice. On the back we find the lyrics.
The lettering is unexpectedly chosen, but fits nicely in the total of the image.
A big poster is included, but this is just six times the front picture and can thus be filed under lost opportunities.
