...following their 1973 album, Heartbreaker, and drummer Simon Kirke, likewise of that gloomily-concluded musical venture, join guitarist Mick Ralphs and bassist Boz Burrell with sax and flute icing by Mel Collins. Together they produce yet another collection of tight riffs--some might call them predictable--with a steady bass company and a highly-amplified guitar sound, usually controlled just short of distortion. They are not virtuosos in the mold of Cream members with their constant technical competition. Their compositions are hardly artistic innovations, either, with lyrical themes which don't stray far from the classic rock and roll love...
...That bass-filled lake, separated by marshy, stream-laced, uninhabited and largely trackless terrain from Sanford, Fla., could not be reached by any land vehicle. The 25-mile trip was made by the chopper in 15 minutes.

The guitarist, Cal Collins, jazzed in and out of the bass-line. A few heads in the audience nodded. Then pianist John Bunch took it alone for a little while, his hands roaming the keyboard like dancing spiders. The audience listened. Bunch stopped and drummer Connie Kay toyed with the beat. A few heads started bobbing. Then Kay stopped and all four jumped in. Heath plucked...
