NIGHTINGALES & BOMBERS

Manfred Mann's Earth Band's 6th album comes from 1975, and is a pretty good effort with a mix of rock, space, and blues numbers. One of the first albums I ever bought as I recall! Top tunes are "Spirit in the Night", "Visionary Mountains", and "Nightingales and Bombers". There are really no weak tracks on this release. Everything fits well together without boringness ever coming into play. I believe this was the final effort by the original Earth Band lineup. (I don't have the remastered edition, so I can't speak of any bonus tracks). All in all, one of the best things put out in the long history of the Earth Band. It's not perfect but it's pretty exellent, anyways! Easily 4 stars.
