String Driven Thing - In the Studio '72. Plus Live in Switzerland '73 and London '95 The 17 tracks on this album [which include a recent return to the boards by the irrepressible Chris Adams on track 17] feature a welcome transfer to cd of the band's ground breaking 1972 album. Additionally there are also five fiery live cuts from Bern, Switzerland in 1973 and the welcome inclusion of the splendid but underrated single "Eddie". There's a contemporary American blues guitarist who uses the moniker "Mr Intensity", his notes are wholesome, his use of sustain is exquisite and his paying is delightful but his passion barely touches the lyrical and performing intensity of SDT's lyricist/vocalist and bandleader Chris Adams. From the opening driving rhythm track and spiralling violin of Grahame Smith on "Circus" to the burning double vocal lines of Chris and wife Pauline Adams on the closing coda of the Swiss set, you are left in no doubt as to the burning commitment of SDT's enduring man of words. This whole set is neatly closed by a live cut recorded 23 years on from the bands original leap to prominence. On "Pride" Chris offers evocative lyrics in an historical context, born of his sense of Scottish ancestry. He lightens the mood by parallelling the march of Bonnie Prince Charlie with the abject failure of Scotland's 1978 World Cup Campaign!! Available now price £12 plus £1 postage inside the UK.
