The group's second album, with
(vocals, flute, acoustic guitars, keyboards, balalaika),
(electric guitar, flute),
(drums), and
(bass), solidified the group's sound. There is still an element of blues, but except for "A New Day Yesterday," it is far more muted than on their first album, as
' blues stylings are largely absent from
's playing. The influence of folk music also began to manifest itself ("Look Into the Sun"). The instrumental "Bouree," which could've been an early
track, became a favorite concert number, although at this point
's flute playing on-stage needed a lot of work; by his own admission, he just wasn't that good. Bassist
would last through only one more album, but he gets his best moments here, on "Bouree." As a story song with opaque lyrics and jarring tempo changes, "Back to the Family" is the forerunner to
. The only major flaw in this album is the mix, which divides the electric and acoustic instruments and fails to find a solid center. The LP comes with a "pop-up" jacket interior. ~ Bruce Eder
