4.0 out of 5 stars A Lost gem, September 18, 2008

If you're here, you know why. I won't go on about the Mac, Danny's alcoholism, etc. Danny's talent was in writing such melodic, beautiful, often melancholy music centered around fluid playing. "Earl Grey" (Kiln House), most of Future Games and Bare Trees provided my first taste of mood or 'chill' type of music in the 70s.
True, there are some duffs on here, but "Second Chapter" "Cascades" "Silver Streams" are just gorgeous and make me think of a solo artist composing away in his cottage on a rural English river bank. I've always mixed this music with Nick Drake, early Durutti Column, Grant McLennan's Go Betweens work, etc.
It perfectly accommodates. Wish he had continued to create. A truly remarkable mood maker.

I have to agree a tiny bit with Phillip's comments on this album , but this is only released for a limited time , so if you are a Danny Kirwan fan from his fine days in "Fleetwood Mac" buy it before it's too late. It was really sad to see him decline mentally and this album was the start, however I do think some songs on this album were good , like Ram Jam City,
Second Chapter , and Falling in love with you. But the music on this album is very outdated , would only be appricated buy , Kirwan fans or those who have extreme music appriciation, (which is rare nowadays), but even they would not have thought that his solo efforts come even close to how he was in his F.M. days. But like Syd Barrett , he fell to a point of no return.
