They seem to be the band that time forgot Carter USM probably reached their peak with “1992 the love album”
As it’s non stop rain thought I’d give 1993’s “Post Historic Monsters” a listen for the first time since the 90s, not as good as 1992 but still ok

Listening to a strange album by trombonist Chris Barber titled “Drat That Fratle Rat” from 1972 features none other than than Rory Gallagher on a couple of tracks, a fusion of Jazz, Blues, Prog & Rock … Really like it

Few surprises on here but on the whole a collection of great tunes, I’d swap “Road to Nowhere” for “Oliver’s Army” though, Elvis sadly overlooked (probably for legal reasons)
Great for the car though
