"Another good record from The Pretty Reckless. The direction is pretty cool, but I think they could have done slightly better. High quality stuff, though." Reply
"A personal favourite of mine. Love the humour of This Song , which deals with him being sued over My Sweet Lord. Eric Idle providing a Monty Python style line in it. Crackerbox Palace, another underrated classic. One of his best albums of the 70’s. Well worth checking out." Reply

"I was initially turned off by Ani's apparent anger until my wife urged me to give her a chance. This is the album that turned me. "Tiptoe" is so vulnerable that any wrath she spews afterward is kind of beautiful, a plea for honesty and equality in a world that chews up the weak and spits them out..." [+] Reply

"A good, fun, no-frills record that features Clapton getting his freak on with the Delaney and Bonnie/Dominos crew.
