05052014 - Skid Row "34 Hours"

Yes, of course this is Irish Skid Row, with Gary Moore on guitar! "34 Hours" was released in 1971, and includes some pretty long songs. The title refers to how long it took the band to record this album. The material here is quite a bit trippier and jammier (that's got to be a word) than on their debut album, and ranges between nice'n'groovy and just a tad too self indulgent for its own good - sometimes within the same song. It's a breath of fresh air when they go all country on the shorter "Lonesome Still". Not bad, not mindblowingly great.
