Rare album by Thoughts and Words which is mainly acoustic and is slightly whimsical on some songs with heavy cello ,while some tracks have a slightly rock/folk feel. This album is full of great songs with good strong melodys. The first track on side 1 has a slight Byrds influence and moves along at a nice bright pace. The album was produced by Mike Batt but I would not class it as being commercial as it has that slight edge that makes it a bit different. ... information from Toned-F, thank you!
