Released in 1987, this album showed some maturity in The Reivers'
sound. It was a little more polished, some of the rough edges
taken off- yet the feeling and the spirit so prevalent on
Translate Slowly was not diminished. The drumming was more
standard, yet still served the songs well. As always, there
was a nice balance between the rock and the folk aspects of
the band. "Secretariat" (which, on first listen, seems to
be a love song about a horse... or is it about the rider of
the horse?...) has an almost heavy metal guitar riff, while
"Electra" (which previously appeared in another form on Translate
Slowly) has folky acoustic guitars. One thing I've always
liked about The Reivers is the obvious fun they had while
recording. This is very evident on "Karate Party", a goofing
around in the studio loose jam. Croslin and Longacre are also
in fine voice on this album, especially in the infectious
melody of "Ragamuffin Man".
