Comment: Scott Severin's last album, which I am just getting into, is an old fashioned sprawl of thought on form, but "The Edge Is Gone" is a straight forward piano rollicking rocker. Plastic Visions are scuzzrockers from Nashville, all fuzzed out indieness. And #3 – #5 are a direct reflection of new releases today. At the time I didn't much care for The Rainbow Concert, today it sounds better than Blind Faith.
