Reviews

JazzLoser (2020) had this to say about it: "Another great live outing by Charlie Earland and Co, for those of us who were still hungry after Living Black!. Turbocharged. Electrified. Balls to the wall. It's soul jazz, top shelf at that..."

Thom Jurek wrote this: "This date from 1971 at the legendary Lighthouse club offers a stunning vision of Earland the soul organist, not the jazzman. Certainly there is plenty of improvisation here and many unexpected twists and turns in the arrangements, with decisions made and reacted to on the spot. But that's not what makes this date so special. This is Earland digging so deeply into a groove emotionally that he's unconcerned with anything but feeling."
