"Felt" 1971 (Nasco 9006)  

    Strong Southern psychrock LP that's probably the best thing on the label. Excellent teenage vocals and a wide-ranging spectrum of influences including late Beatle-psych, mellow west coast-jamming and early 1970s hardrock, held together by a tight band who obviously put a lot of effort into this album. Strange that this took so long to get reissued, although the bizarre cover may have contributed. [PL]

    Solid album that goes from Beatlesque pop to bluesy hard rock, this one gets everything right. The ten-minute song that starts side two has an awesome riff and maintains a fantastic level of intensity. Sounds awfully mature for the work of a supposedly 17-year-old singer/songwriter. A really good one. The album was mastered a little off-center, and the Akarma reissue was mastered from the vinyl. The last song on both orig and re has an annoying wavery sound to it. A reissue from the master tapes would be very welcome. [AM]

    This album is unexpectedly diverse and impressive. The opener 'Look At the Sun' served as an atypical, but gorgeous ballad. It sounds kind of strange but the song actually benefits from Jackson's somewhat quivery vocal performances. Couple with some great lead guitar at the end of the track, it's also the most commercial song on the album. Sporting an anti-drug lyric 'Now She's Gone' starts out with a pseudo-jazzy flavor complete with scat segments before mutating into a bluesy segment and then going back into jazz mode. It probably doesn't sound very promising on paper, but somehow these guys make it one of the album's most entertaining pieces. Musically 'Weepin' Mama Blues' is a pretty standard keyboard and guitar propelled blues workout that sports some killer drum work and a lead guitar and scat vocal combination that won't quit. It may also have Jackson's best vocal performance. He sure doesn't sound like a 17 year old on this one. Clocking in at over ten minutes and going through numerous time changes, "The Change" is an entertaining mix of progressive and hard rock moves. As for the two other tracks; "World" was a decent hard rock number that's knocked down a notch by Jackson's strained falsetto vocal (though part of the problem may explained by a pressing defect that saw the album mastered slightly off center). The final selection "Destination" was simply bland. All in all a real surprise with great songs, great performances and surprisingly clean and sophisticated production work. [SB]
