Comments

Piet Botha and friends produce some superb blues-based rock on this album. Adding their own brand of South African angst to the blues, Jack Hammer play hard and heavy. Blistering guitar work.

— Brian Currin, 2000

Album title is taken from the lyrics of ‘The Fisherman‘.

Comments

“One Train Running” is mispelt as “Runing” and I believe Finlay Malherbe should actually be Findlay, with a “d”.
