The 3rd album by Gravy Train and follow up to "Ballad of a peaceful man". Style is a mix of GENESIS, but with a rawer & more folky edge. Feat. Excellent guitars from Norman Barrett, and flute / sax by JD Hughes as well. Gravy Train were a progressive rock group from Lancashire, England, formed by vocalist and guitarist Norman Barratt in 1970. Together with J.D. Hughes (keyboards, vocals, wind), Lester Williams (bass, vocals) and Barry Davenport (drums) they recorded four studio albums. The first two were released on the Vertigo label and the latter two by Dawn Records. The band was dissolved in 1974. Little is known what happened with its members except for Norman Barratt, who appeared in Mandalaband for their second and final album in 1978. He went on to found the Barratt Band, which recorded albums in the early 1980s.Released in late 1971, (A Ballad of) A Peaceful Man was Gravy Train's second - and probably their most praised - album. Unlike their heavier debut, this album sports some lovely string arrangements, provided by Nick Harrison.
