I've reviewed a box set of this band in the current issue of Music Street Journal. In addition, I'm doing individual retro reviews of this album and the first one. The track by track reviews for these are the same as those in the box set, but that review does not include these overall reviews. It should be noted that getting these as part of the box set is recommended, as that set is great.

This second album from Baker Gurvitz Army continued the psychedelic meets prog and jazz stylings of the first, but wandered a bit more into mainstream rock than the first album did. While that one is a pretty good fit under progressive rock, this one makes it, too, but not quite as fully. The lineup here includes Ginger Baker and Adrian Gurvitz and Paul Gurvitz, making up the name.  Mr. Snips handles lead vocals on six of the songs and Peter Lemer provides the keyboards.  

This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) in Music Street Journal: 2019  Volume 4. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2019.

The guitar that opens this has a bit of a blues rock vibe to it. There is a funky sort of groove at play, too. I can make out some real hints of early Santana on this for some reason. The groove on this is so cool.

This powerhouse jam works so well in this live performance. The proggy elements seem to be intensified here. The instrumental section is a real powerhouse.

The groove on this is soulful. The cut has some prog elements at play, but overall has a real funky texture. It makes me think of Stevie Wonder just a little. This jam is very cool. I dig the retro keyboard sounds on it.
