Album Review

An oddly programmed selection of Wood's post-Move records, from source recordings of highly variable quality; in fact, some tracks sound as though they were mastered from old LPs. Fans will appreciate the inclusion of some of the more obscure tracks, like the breezy "Indiana Rainbow," and the choice of material provides an intriguing overview of Wood's far-ranging work since leaving the early Electric Light Orchestra. Novices, however, are directed to the Roy Wood Singles CD for a more balanced and complimentary introduction to Wood's singular talents as a songwriter and record-maker.
James A. Gardner, Rovi
