Subtitled "featuring Mike Harrison", it is kind of admirable they stuck around and released this, but at the same time it does smack of a cash-in, too. They had to rope in two guys from Joe Cocker's Grease Band to help out and write material, which is weird, because it's mainly cover tunes, so what the hell? At least one song is worth hearing, though - a slow-burning, massive cover of "I Am the Walrus" which showcases the power of Mike Harrison's vocals - as if to say, did you guys really need that dumb bloke Cocker around, when I still exist? But the rest of the album is pretty much a cure for sleep deprivation. With only seven tracks total, they needed a songwriting donation from Gary Wright just to make it a full LP ("The Wrong Time"), and their version is pretty lackluster. Check out any of Mike Harrison's 1970's solo works over this lame-o product.
