Downtown Flyers 1975 Album

Streetwalkers

By now Chapman and Whitney were backed by Bobby Tench, Jon Plotel, and Nicko McBrain - the very same who would play drums for Iron Maiden in the 80's - a lineup which reflected their transformation from obscure art-rock group to cult hard-rock group with a funk edge. Or, in the case of "Crawfish", some kind of bizarre gut-bucket tangent that's downright indescribable. Still, their former profile does not go down without a struggle, as evidenced by the ultra-gentle tones of "Miller", a song which could have been easily conceived in 1875! Completely hard to figure but on the average it's a sidelight compared to what preceded and followed it.
