By the time Tommy Flanders put out his little-heard solo album in 1969, he d moved into music which had little to do with the blues and R&B covers he d belted out in his brief stint as the Blues Project s original lead singer in the mid- 60s. Instead, it was very laid-back early singer songwriter folk-rock, somewhat similar to the early James Taylor, as well as in looser senses to Dion s late- 60s folk-rock and Tim Hardin (whose Reputation Flanders had covered on an earlier single). Despite some top-flight backup musicians in Bruce Langhorne, Dick Rosmini, and Jerry Scheff, it was a fairly forgettable record, and certainly a low-energy one, the mellowness threatening to dissolve into sleepiness. It s one of those albums where nothing s especially wrong, but neither is anything especially right. Flanders vocals are pleasant but undistinguished, and the songs — all self-penned, one in collaboration with another writer — amble by without making much of a dent. Often romantically inclined, and sometimes countrified, it only goes into harder ground on the title cut, which has some darkly swooping fuzz guitar and borderline psychedelic organ-piano interplay.
