DRIVER-NO ACCIDENT-

This Canadian outfit released their only album in 1977. A strange mix of kickass tunes and some very odd ballads in a mix with nowhere heading.

Guitarist and vocalist Pete Glindeman stands out with a great delivery and good singing. Bass player Dennis Coats joins him on a similar level and you just can´t argue with the input on the songs. Very strong and a great production overall.

The lack of heading of this album gives you mixed emotions. Standout tune “Boxful of love” is followed up by an funky, caribbean almost poptasting “Sweet Love” which is not bad but it doesn´t fit in at all. Confusing to say the least….

Whatabout the drummer, Stephen Rexford?? This is a solid statement and great delivery with no exclamation Point. Great playing, Clean striking and he has got a great drumsound on the album. Very nice.

If you´re into AOR rock with a bit of BTO, Flaming lips and like singalong choruses this is a priceless gem. For all you who are looking for a piledriving rock riff record this is not the first choice of record. Don´t be discouraged, it is a good album but to uneven for any higher grades. Just take a look at the sleevecover and you understand what I mean..Horrendous!!
