Brilliant Stuff Here, January 21, 2001 Reviewer: T. Telfer "Telfanator" (Ukiah, CA United States) - See all my reviews Worth it just for the epic "Mad Jack" about a mythical race to Argungu. "Kept his wheels, And he kept his head, Kept his tiger, black, white and red." It starts out pretty standard with verse/chorus/verse of kickin' hard rock. Then Ginger Baker gets on the mic with his (mock?) cockney accent telling a gripping story against a building background of keyboards and drums. By the end of the eight minutes, you almost are rooting for Mad Jack to win the race. The rest of the album is interesting too, with blues and progressive rock thrown together in a mix that any Cream or '70's rock fan will appreciate. An overlooked masterpiece..., January 2, 2000 Reviewer: Anthony (Philadelphia suburbs) It's funny how some of the most unknown contributions to music can be some the best! The Baker Gurvitz Army is one of those exceptions. Featuring Ginger Baker on drums and vocals, Adrian Gurvitz on guitar and vocals and Paul Gurvitz on bass this cd (LP) is an overlooked masterpiece! Well written and played progressive, blues and hard rock make this cd (LP) a must for any fan of 70's super groups. All three of their releases are well worth the investment.
