I've been waiting for years too! September 12, 2008

Skyboat, the greatest album I ever bought as a kid, and I bought shed-loads. The guitar, voice, songs, arrangements are perfect. Loved Area Code and Barefoot J as well. A great time for American music!
Oh yes! July 29, 2008

Amazon says: "Out of print for three decades, they are much treasured vinyl items for those lucky enough to own copies".
Damn right they are! I've been waiting for a CD of "Skyboat" for YEARS - it's one of my all-time favourite albums. The BEST version of "Morning Glory" (even better than the soul cover by James and Bobby Purify), the BEST version of "Everlasting Love" (even better than the hit by The Love Affair), the BEST version of The Temptations' "Walk (And Don't Look Back)", plus great tracks like "Gettysburg" and "Southwind" - all delivered with a rich singing voice and a unique guitar style - it's a classic.
The follow-up album "Hymn To The Seeker", included here, was a little disappointing by comparison with its illustrious predecessor (it tips over a little too heavily into pretentious pseudo-mysticism for my liking), but still has some enjoyable music.
Can't wait to get hold of this on CD at last.
