This is a bit of sleeping classic - and one that'll sneak up on you without your realizing it! First up for anyone expecting the type of stuff Jools did with Brian Auger and the Trinity - then this may not be for you! However for anybody else if you want to hear Julie Driscoll beginning to creatively flex - then read on.The album was recorded as its title suggests in 1969 - but with the usual record label type stuff (mainly manager Giorgio Gomelsky's label Marmalade folding) meant that it did get released until 2 years later in 1971. Music-wise the subjects are freedom and the chances to do stuff for yourself. Which in personal and creative terms for Jools meant writing and playing her own material and to escape from the shadow and expectations of the massive hit that was 'This Wheel's On Fire'- that's her on acoustic guitar - alongside soon-to-be husband Keith Tippett, plus Blossom Toes providing the backing on a number of tracks. The highlight of the album for me has to be "The Choice", although it's run a close second by the opener "A New Awakening", "Break Out" and "Walk Down". In fact the whole thing's rather brilliant. And it's from this I've got back to listening and appreciating the stuff she did with Brian Auger and the Trinity a whole lot more.
