VINYL OF THE DAY: Rabbit - Broken Arrows
Old school Island Records release (1973) with heavy gatefold, lyrics and pics.
Rabbit was an in demand session musician for the Back Street Crawler, Eric Burdon, Jim Capaldi, Pete Townshend, Roger Dalty, John Martyn amongst others, was a member of Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu & Rabbit and later became the touring keyboard player for The Who, which he continues to do to this day.
He released a few solo albums, of which this is his first, joined by members of Free and Traffic like Jim Capaldi, Simon Kirke, Tetsu Yamauchi amongst others.
Mellow, 70's style keyboard-infused rock, with some punchy surprises. I've seen this called a "vital work by a figure who is hardly a household name, but whose performances grace tons of albums. A much more important figure than he is given credit."
