MESSAGE - Sailing Home (MER-AL 1053972) 1974?
A solid do-it-yourself rural acoustic release from guitar pals Allan Butt and Pat Merchant that has been likened to Buffalo Springfield. Guitars
plus bass and drums to fill out the sound. From upbeat jangly folk tunes with a nod to spirited ’60s pop, to sparkling 12-string acoustic ballads,
with guitar interplay excelling throughout,especially when Pat takes off
on the lead. Nice slide guitar on the lazy Southern twanger ‘Highway 45’. Country feel to ‘He Was a Carpenter’ with harmonica providing a mourn-ful tone. Best song title: ‘It’s Hard To Be A Christian (When You’re Not)’.
(The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition).
