A Matter Of Time 1975 Album

Railroad Gin

An intoxicating mix of symphonic sounds and raw-boned soul courtesy of frizzy-haired frontwoman Carol Lloyd, who comes off like a Janis clone but turns out to be much more versatile and just...her own undefinable style. And her band mates are more than a match for her, too. Maybe the covers are a little too obvious and/or maudlin (they hit "Come Together" and "Ruby Tuesday" within the same album), but you have to admire the ambition. This is the album Jefferson Starship wish they made.
