"This material formed the mainstay of their live act at this time. Stan was and is one of the finest guitarists to ever come from the UK. His fluid style that always has feeling as well as dexterity and his very English gritty vocals give all his work great feelings, if you havnt heard Stan then get "Stan the Man Live CD" Its a cracker. This was a favourite of mine with Poor Boy becomming an Anthem for Stan and Daughter of the Hillside and Going Down rock classics. Thanks for some great nights Stan your a gem."

Fantastic disk.

"I had ignored Chicken Shack as there were other much better known power bands at the time. But this album has turned me into a big time Chicken Shack fan. I have subsequently bought a number of other Chicken Shack albums but none compare to this one. There are some of the most remarkable drums and bass performances that I have ever heard. The first track "Crying won't help you know" is an astonishing piece of music. The bass, drums and Stan Webb's wah-wah guitar are some of the finest performances that I have ever heard. This is at a level equivalent to Cream at their peak. The second track, Daughter of the Hillside has some of the most rocking sounds ever from that time. Every track is a gem. Poor Boy is a classic. The drum solo on Telling Your Fortune is also a masterpiece. The whole album is certainly up there as one of my top ten albums from the late "60s and 70s". You have to get this one!"
