BE GOOD TO YOURSELF AT LEAST ONCE A DAY

"Man" is a group that incorporates rock n roll, progressive rock, blues, country and hard rock. This album is no exception. They have the gift to make their studio albums (mostly those issued around 1973) sound like live recordings. The twin guitar solos, the tight and groovy rhythms, their enthusiasm and energy are combined with skill and good ideas. The piano and keyboards play a district role with soulful solos here and there as compositions lead into jams. If a reference is needed, I 'd dare to say that Wishbone Ash, Marshall Tucker Band or Quicksilver Messenger plus hammond organ jamming on stage sound similar at times. The most progressive oriented piece in this album is the beautiful instrumental "Keep on crinting". Although "Man" don't play progressive rock in the strict meaning of the word -and even the last song "Life on the road" is a rhythmic blues piece- anyone who loves good pure rock music will find this a delightful recording.
