Rock / Jazz Rock / Progressive Rock
The second If album came out within the same year as the first, and continues in the same distinctive jazz-rock vein the band worked on its debut. The playing is excellent, with the sax and flute work of Dave Quincy and Dick Morrissey carrying the group's sound to a level unmatched by other, better known contemporaries like Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears. J. W. Hodkinson's unique vocals continue to sail through the music, while Terry Smith employs a deeper, grittier guitar tone than he used on the first LP. The material here is not as interesting as on the earlier release, but the soloists have plenty of space to stretch out and strut their stuff over John Mealing's organ/electric piano bed of chord changes. Jim Richardson lays down some inventive basslines and drummer Dennis Elliott keeps the band on track through various rhythmic twists and turns.
Personnel:
J. W. Hodkinson – lead vocals, percussion
Dick Morrissey – tenor and soprano saxophone, flute
Dave Quincy – tenor and alto saxophones, flute
Terry Smith – guitar
John Mealing – organ, backing vocals, electric piano
Jim Richardson – bass
Dennis Elliott – drums
