John Kirkpatrick Band, Force of Habit

Omnium Rec. 1996 (OMM 2015D)

 

E' un live registrato nel 1995 da Ray Williams e prodotto da John Kirkpatrick. Le fotografie sono di Saffron Summerfield e il designa di quelli della Fledg'ling di Londra. L'ascolto è molto piacevole, a cominciare dalle splendide ballate  "George's Son" e "Black Against The Snow". Travolgente poi il finale con la scoppiettante ed elettrica "The Swirling Serpent/ Beast of Burden".
