TRACKS LISTING: Harpoon Man National Blues Sorry Sorry Look Over Yonder Wall Rock And Roll Woman Somewhere Down The Line Mazurka Statesborough Blues Killing Floor
Signed to Chris Blackwell's Island Records (A&M acquiring US distribution rights), Tramline featured the talents of singer John McCoy, lead guitarist Mick Moody, drummer Terry Popple, and bassist Terry Sidgwick. Produced by Blackwell, 1968's "Somewhere Down the Line" showcased the band's intense commitment blues genre. The only non-blues selection was a strange cover of Stephen Stills "Rock and Roll Woman". Blues material like "Harpoon Man" and "Sorry Sorry" was never less than competent and professional, but with the possible exception of pseudo-funky "Look Over Yonder Wall" and the pretty instrumental "Mazurka", the album simply didn't generate a great deal of excitement or do much to expand the musical envelope. Still in his teens, Moody was certainly a talented slide guitar player (check out his work on the country blues instrumental "National Blues'') though the band's full-hearted devotion to the blues didn't exactly give him a platform to showcase those talents. Similarly, as lead vocalist/harmonica player McCoy was a decent, if somewhat anonymous performer.
