GARY WRIGHT Gary Wright's Extraction / Footprint
BGO BGOCD699
Wright hit the big time with the solo album Dream Weaver in 1975;
these two date from '70 and '71, in-between stints with Spooky Tooth
as organist and vocalist.
These two albums are pretty typical early 70s sets, if also
uninspiring. Short too - the two albums combined run at under 70
minutes.
The guitar and keyboards do work well, and the horns and slide
guitar add a nice extra dimension.
Nothing wrong with the tunes, it is very enjoyable in places, but
more as funked up back ground rather than gripping. Well packaged as
usual from BGO though.
