Gravy Train albums have been compared to the works of such contemporaries as Audience, Van Der Graf Generator and Jethro Tull.

This 1971 epic was the group's second release for the Vertigo label and has eight excellent tracks including 'Alone In Georgia', 'Can Anybody Hear Me', and 'Home Again'.

Originally from Lancashire, the band is fronted by guitarist Norman Barrett, noted for Hendrix-inspired attack, heavy riffs and feedback. His unique vocal style is given powerful backing by Barry Davenport (drums), J.D.Hughes (sax, flute, vocals), and Lester Williams (bass).

Avid collectors laud '(A Ballad Of) A Peaceful Man' as a 'magnificent work of art'. This is undoubtedly a gem from the 70s Progressive Rock era.
