The nadir of the package is the pointless remake of 'Day After Day,' which is worthy of a Holiday Inn lounge band. The best track, 'Overton Park/Faith,' also contains more of a hint of the folksy twang that this group displayed on their first album. There is evidence that the trio format was confining to the band, since the standout tracks on this album are the ones that feature additional instrumentation by guest musicians. Barry Marler sings with passion but not a whole lot of character, and every track sounds good while it's actually playing.
