The first track ‘Anymore’ is a sophisticated rock ballad and shows off the exceptional vocal talent of John Telfer. This track is well produced & mixed, as is the rest of the album.

‘Dreams’ is a little more upbeat and gives an idea of the style of the rest of the album. This is Adult Oriented Rock that will appeal to those that listen to Johnny Walker on Radio 2.

‘Radio’ is my favourite track on the CD, this could almost be an Alan Parsons recording, it has a catchy chorus that would play very well on the radio.

‘You’re the best’ is more of the same, everything is just where it should be; Well played instrumental parts, perfect harmonies and one of Bristol’s best vocalists.

‘Fur Louise’…. What is this doing here guys? if I wanted to listen to Tales of the Riverbank I would have bought the BBC theme tunes album. This classical track belongs at the end of the album or better still on another album altogether!

‘The Rose’ takes us back to the main theme of the album which is sophisticated AOR. This one has a lovely bass line in the middle eight.

‘Look at you’ is a good track that John Telfer again excels on, I felt that this song could have benefited from a more raunchy guitar part through the chorus to add more balls, but having said that I realise that maybe this is not really the nature of AFGM.

 ‘Down South’ almost has the feel of an Eagles song crossed with Alan Parsons which I guess must make it unique in it’s own way?

‘Pray for Rain’ is another ballad, this one has a moody build up with an anthem like chorus that the live audience would love.

‘Something for Nothing’ is as raunchy as AFGM get, I would imagine that this is a great end of set song, I don’t know where the sax came from, but it sounds great.

AFGM have created a top quality, well produced album of sophisticated AOR.

Buy this album and you will be playing it for many years to come.

Highly Recommended - Bristol Rocks
