Let The Sunshine in

Hey now this is a great cd and sort of holds time to its original release of 1968. This is the first album post-Winwood era and they did a fantastic job for just coming off a devastating blow of a major change in musical direction…

Despite some future weak LP’s or mainstream/cashing machine approximations, there’s no way to ignore the fact that Brian Auger is a master groover and one of the first to have successfully plunged in Fusion (taken in its wider meaning) waters; on the other hand Julie Driscoll appears as having always functioned as a creative/inspirational muse for our man, in that all their collaborations bore tasteful fruits; that said this album is in my opinion here to prove it!
