3 stars The second and final album from Wally is another eccentric symphonic prog album.

The music on this album is a lot more symphonic and space rock'ed than the debut album. The sound is pretty full of spacey elements. Pink Floyd is a natural inspiration, it seems. But the music is still rooted in country & western. The violin is still there. The combination of symphonic prog, country & western, rock and space rock on this album has to be heard to be believed ! The nineteen minutes long The Reason Why is a work out of astronomical proportions. Space rock and country vocal harmonies. What a blast this album is.

The quality is not the best. Neither is it bad. The Reason Why and the other songs are good, but nothing more. But I have to give Wally credit for orginality. Symphonic country & western......... It's like John Wayne doing a Star Trek film !

3.25 stars
