“Romany” by The Hollies - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1972 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |
Their 70s decline reaches a new low on this limp affair, their first without lead singer Allan Clarke who was off in pursuit of some of that solo Graham Nash success. Taking his place was Swedish singer Mikael Rickfors, whom they had met whilst touring Sweden five years earlier. Their sound is very American these days, very well produced and all, but very much a Crosby, Stills & Nash derivative. Not for me.
