SALISBURY

A very good album, although I prefer DEMONS AND WIZARDS and MAGICIANS BIRTHDAY, and even LOOK AT YOURSELF, to this 1971 release form Uriah Heap. Of course, the long title track "Salisbury" is the highlight here, covering many forms of music that really show what this group could accomplish on only their second release. They may have never again equaled this song in their long history. However, the rest of the album with the exception of "Bird of Prey" and "Lady in Black" doesn't offer much aside from hard rock and bluesy numbers. A very good album but the total doesn't do it for me except for the title track. 3 stars
