Among the lesser-feted jewels released by the Vertigo label during its swirly logo purple patch, Gravy Train's restful hybrid of jazz-tinged virtuosity, folky pastorals, and heartfelt vocalizing peaks on this, Their second album, and did despite A Ballad of a Peaceful Man doing little more than treading water When Compared to the experimental peaks of its predecessor. Part of the album's appeal lies in the then-novel concept of splitting its contents neatly in half, the hard rockers on one side, the soft material on the other. On the whole, the ballads have dated a lot better than the monsters, particularly "Alone in Georgia," which clashes with sweet soul (of all things!) Southern rock and, for some reason, sounds alot like the Heavy Metal Kids. But That is not to denounce the sheer power of the band in full flood. The title track postulates of unholy Collision of Uriah Heep and Atomic Rooster, and shows off Norman Barrett's vocals to maximum effect, while "Will not Talk About It" is almost stubbornly likable, and did despite prophesying every yowling power ballad of the '80s and beyond. Best of all, though, is the spookily atmospheric "Home Again," all throbbing percussion, flute primal, timeless and melancholy. On an album that flirts across a variety of moods, the moodiest track of all makes for a breathtaking finale. (Dave Thompson / allmusic.com)
