String Driven Thing - Keep Yer And On It (1975)

 

The fifth album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a line-up of drums, percussion, bass, banjo, guitars, violin, viola and vocals.

Two guests added piano and harmonica.

The band returned again after only a one year long album break. I was not impressed by their previous album and had no expectations for this album.

Keep Yer And On It clocks in at forty minutes.

The music is a blend of mainstream rock and folk rock.

Add in some Americana too and you get the picture.

The music is pretty hard rocking and groovy. There is a lot of violins in the music. The Kansas influences are subtle but still there. 

There are a lot of guitars and vocals too here.

There are a couple of pretty good pieces of music here. And there is some songs here which deserves to be forgotten.

This is a decent enough album from a band who were pretty popular in the beginning of the 1970s. A band worth checking out.
