Tough choice between the two albums called Illusion, really

Nice idea to include the Yarbrirds....
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Illusion/Illusion was an underrated second album that apparently the band was not happy with.  It's the equal of the first album IMO, but kind of apples and oranges.

I never knew about that Jim McCarty band album.  Is it more bluesy or more like his other solo works?

Yes, it's more bluesy than a night out with the three Kings: Albert, B.B. & Freddie. Smile
